[QUOTE="Brent, post: 27083, member: 99"] [b]Re: Throat errosion concerning the large case 6.5\'s[/b] Thanks a lot Steve. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] If you get a chance, the capacities would be handy in evaluating them for sure. I wonder if that long neck theory has been seriously tested on very many barrels or just enough to convince the right people that it spread real far and fast.
