Throat length, does it really matter that much?

[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1003217, member: 10"] Ya, my test was certainly not scientifically pure either but both of our results show similar results. I would have to agree with you also in that each round may have a Sweet spot for throat length to optimize case capacity for a given powder charge. For example, you may be able to take a given case and put X amount of powder in that case with a 3.700" OAL, 3.800" OAL and 3.900" OAL. With the short length you may have 105% load density and a bit more powder crunching then we like to see, at 3.900" we may have around 95% load density. At 3.800" we may have a 100% load density which would be ideal for most powders. Agree with your comments for sure. [/QUOTE]
