[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1013084, member: 5219"] There has been no mention of barrel length which IMO has more influence in velocity than throat length. I am as guilty as others in lengthening throats and magazines. Sometimes it will require some gunsmithing to get back the smooth feeding. I always grin when I think of my friend's 300 WSM with its 2.8" magazine length restrictions. For grins seated the 230 target match hybrid to fit and feed. The bullet is obscenely deep into the case. We joke that it is sitting on the flash hole. Using RL-17 got 2720 from his 22" browning A-bolt! It worked so well he used it to take a cow elk last fall. A very spectacular kill at 300 yd was the result.
