[QUOTE="el si, post: 417411, member: 25700"] I forgot to mention that this rifle will be a single shot so overall cartridge length does not matter. I thought I had all this figured out before placing the barrel order. Then the second guessing kicked in and I began double and triple checking my numbers. I got caught up in the numbers game like Jim said. I think I will leave it at the .384” throat and see how it goes. And I agree with what you said about once it’s gone it’s gone so I rather be on the short side. I know I am taking a gamble on cutting this barrel specifically for one bullet, especially one I have not tried before. I choose the NAB because they will be easier for me to get regularly. I can drive down to Nosler a couple times a year and load up on seconds.gun) I didn’t know that bullets and barrels could have a “disagreement.” I better start worrying that these two will get along. Maybe that will get my mind off the throat.:D Thank you Jim and Autorotate for the advice. I will post details of this thing when it is done. Hopefully it will be a shooter. [/QUOTE]
