[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1114454, member: 2736"] I think It is throated long for the same reason Shortgrass stated. Also It could be because the "Older" 30/06 length actions are shorter than the new magnum actions and that would give you ample free bore for the shorter actions. Free bore/throat length is a personal preference and is variable to a point depending on what the person wants/expects of a cartridge. On my heavy powder charged cartridges I have found no ill effects with free bore. In fact, I have several rifles that have over .500 free bore that will shoot groups below .100 (1/10th MOA) with huge amounts of powder and no signs of pressure. Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
