[QUOTE="liltank, post: 456989, member: 13275"] It will definitely limit some of the capacity, but wouldn't drastically change it. You may have to change the speed of powder you choose to use. If you are using RL22 and 4831, you could drop to RL17 and H4350. These would give you equal speeds and work better in lower case capacity issues. Like anything you need to work up your loads. I kind of dropped the idea of choking case capacity after going to Williamsport and talking to some of the guys shooting 1000yrd bench. Some of those guys sink 210 Berger's .080 to .100" in the case for accuracy. They swear by it and place in competition. Who am I to tell them they are wrong. I have a feeling that if you short throat the barrel you are not going to lose that much capacity. Right now you are probably seating to the base of the neck. With a short throat you will seat to the base of the shoulder. You can always set the length you want and give the smith that prototype round and he can set the throat accordingly. Talk to your gunsmith and see what they tell ya. I sank the 208's in my 300WSM and it worked just fine. I had to back down a grain or so, but the velocity was still there. Tank [/QUOTE]
