[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1821471, member: 107384"] In that case [NPI] you should send the gun to a competent smith and have him or her set the barrel back enough so that he can can cut a normal throat. IMO this is a MUST DO. Secondly when fireforming you should seat the bullet so that they just jam into the lands and don't be afraid to use a near stout load. You do not want the case to move when the firing pin strikes the primer. You want the case to expand to fill and conform to the chamber if it is currently too petite. I remember when doing mine 30+ years ago, that Doug Shilen told me that this cartridge does best with hot loads. I am currently in the process of having another one built. [/QUOTE]
