[QUOTE="Joey 3, post: 898565, member: 46155"] As my first foray into rifle building, I recently had a long action re-barreled in 6.5x284 for target and hunting. I sent the action to the barrel company and told them that I wanted to shoot 140 VLD's & 127 LRX's (for the land of "no lead") and went with their recommendations. I figured that they know their barrels. When I measured the chamber, the COAL for 140 VLD's touching the lands is only 2.911". I am concerned about how much excess bullet is in the case (0.2"+). The barrel company freely offered to move the throat and requested that I send them a dummy round to gauge off of. Here are my questions: How much difference in performance should I expect to see by moving the throat? Where is a good starting point to have the throat moved to? [/QUOTE]
