[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 388949, member: 2215"] bigngreen, I was asking which bullet you were going to shoot. The 270 WSM according to Dave Kiffs book of reamer prints has no throat and only.0185 of lead. I have some reamers with the throat (aka free bore) built right into the reamer which is nice, sometimes. But for alot of the type of rifles I build, my customers are shooting the longer heavier bullets and each one wants their throat set a little different. I like to have a little shorter throat then have a customer supplied dummy round with the bullet seated to where they would like it. I then can go back in after the head space is set and set a custom throat length to match the dummy round. But also as Bounty Hunter stated Dave Kiff is a very knowledgeable man about this stuff and he could grind the throat right into the reamer for whatever length of throat you want. [/QUOTE]
