[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 93055, member: 5"] no.1 whitetail: I would also highly recommend you get QuickLoad as it will show a lot of things that people can't see any other way. This is a sample chart of a mild load in 264 Win Mag. It shows % of combustion for barrel length. You can see that all of the powder is not burned up until the bullet has traveled 16"-17". You can play with it and change powders, loads etc. and see that some loads never burn all of the powder in a given barrel length.

You can see that in this instance the max chamber pressure doesn't start to drop until the bullet has traveled 3"-4". Looks like, in this instance, the bullet would be into the rifling/barrel a few inches before peak pressure exists. That would mean that the gas burning behind the bullet at peak pressures would be "attacking" the throat.
