[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 204695, member: 9964"] [b]Setting the throat length[/b] Any quality gunsmith will have a short throated chamber reamer and a piloted throating reamer for the caliber of your chamber. The throat should be cut about .020 short of your dummy cartridge. Tangent bullet like to be engaged and secant bullets like to jump. If your gunsmith does not have a throating reamer with the appropriate pilots maybe you should get a new gunsmith. There is a learning curve to using throating reameres. Don't be a guinny pig. They cut like a knife in hot butter. You might talk with Dave Kiff at PT&G he makes and sell throating reamers. Rustystud a/ka Nathaniel G. Lambeth, Sr Custom Guns and Ammunition. [/QUOTE]
