[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1454459, member: 10755"] I throated my own chamber with a separate throating reamer. I always do this with my match chambers. Throat measures .220” so I can still use all the VLD/Hybrids without encroaching on the powder space. I recently bought a Win Model 70 EW in 264WM for a lightweight hunting rig, it had a very short SAAMI throat of .060”. I throated it to the same .220” for VLD/Hybrids from Berger/Nosler/Hornady in the 3.4” mag of the Winchester, it just happened to work out that way. I also bought a Win Model 70 EW in 338WM at the same time, it too had a short throat, so I lengthened that as well. Couldn’t even get to mag length with that throat length. Don’t know what’s going on with these Barco made rifles, would have preferred the US made models, but none are to be had here. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
