[QUOTE="trebark, post: 363189, member: 19172"] Throating...once you've made the decision as to cartridge, tell whoever is chambering the barrel what bullet you'd like to shoot and tell him to throat the barrel for that bullet. For instance, in my 260, I asked my smith to throat the barrel for the 140SMK. This means he will set it up so that I can seat the base of the bullet right at the neck/shoulder junction in the case and the ogive of the bullet will be just off the lands. lomsf24 also raises another good point. In your original post you mentioned a 1:9 twist, check the Berger website, they recommend 1:8 for their 140 grain bullets. Personally, I split the difference and will have 1:8.5 in my barrel.
