[QUOTE="Gene, post: 572555, member: 7402"] You want the throat to be sufficient so that the base of the seated bullet is somewhare near middle of the neck This allows you to seat various bullets longer or shorter so that the ogive will touch the rifling. Once you know where it touches, you can seat the bullets longer or shorter, for either jump or jam. Of course, you will not be able to see where the base of a boat tail will rest, and you do not need to consider that part of the bullet when doing this. When you have a gunsmith chamber a new barrel, tell him what bullet you intend to use, and he will run the reamer to desired depth. If you have a box magazine, keep the OAL short enough to fit.
