[QUOTE="Eric Stecker, post: 440258, member: 8908"] I can't share with you personal experience with a long throated rifle but I can relay some thoughts to consider. First, you have to decide if you are willing to single feed your ammo or use the magazine. If you are going to single feed the ammo your COAL can be much longer. You may find that your throat is long enough that even by single feeding you are still unable to get near the rifling. This is something that will be specific to your rifle but that still does not mean that the 4 COAL test won't work. If you decide that you want to feed your ammo through the magazine then the distance to the rifling is less relevant. Your COAL will be limited by your magazine (no surprise to anyone there). This brings me to what I believe to be true for both situations. The reports that we are getting show that each rifle has a sweet spot within the .150 range. We've focused on this range being near or touching the rifling because frankly this is what we are used to. There is a strongly likelihood that this range can be well away from the rifling and still include a sweet spot. I will be very interested to hear the results from someone who tries this in a long throated rifle. I believe this can also be tried in a short throated rifle but using the maximum allowable COAL that will feed through a magazine as your "longest" [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]measurement[/FONT][/COLOR] starting point. If anyone has a chance to give this a try I will be very interested to learn the results. Regards, Eric [/QUOTE]
