[QUOTE="JustC, post: 33223, member: 817"] My 30" PacNor in 300RUM was chambered for me last year. I failed to mention to the gunsmith about the bullet I would be using (200-240gr). My throat appears to be for the shorter, lighter pills,..as the base of the 210gr berger is below the shoulder/body junction slightly. This makes sense in retrospect as I reached pressure at 88gr of H1000 with the 200gr smk seated at the lands. That is far below the manual max loads. I assume the deeper seated bullet,..while still being seated at the lands,..boosts pressure with a lesser charge due to lower internal capacity. My question is this,...should I have the throat lengthened or just enjoy longer throat life as I chase it after erosion? I use this as a 1000yd LG,..so the best performance for that useage is what I am interested in. Thanks [ 04-27-2004: Message edited by: JustC ] [/QUOTE]
