[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 594825, member: 24624"] Your reamer mfg can also advise. They sometimes are already familiar with certain popular cartridge/brass/bullet combos. With a lot of hot cartridges, you'll end up chasing the throat anyways. So, you may be reducing overall effective barrel life as well as making the rifle not well suited for other bullets. Those are just some of the possible trade-offs if you get greedy and try to optimize too much for a very specific purpose. On the other hand, you could hit a home run. In addition to what Michael stated, your best bet is to find someone that's already had success with your desired setup and let them replicate the same specs. -- richard [/QUOTE]
