[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1944624, member: 10"] i am not a fan of the +p throat designs. When Shawn Carlock was designing his, at the exact same time i was designing my hybrid throat design and testing it. We were doing thisR&D for different reasons, he was looking for performance increases, i was looking to find a way to get then new bullet designs to survive the launch velocities of my Allen Magnum wildcats. In the end, both designs are nearly identical even though theh were designed totally seperate from each other. I found the exact same performance gains as he did, and tested my design in many different calibers, however, in my testing, i found that with my wildcat designs, throat life was dramatically reduced and because of the design of the +p and hybrid throat designs, its often not practical to set a barrel back far enough to clean up the throat. as such, i reported these test results and made the decision that i would not recommend these throat designs to customers for the sake of 100 fps at the cost of dramatically shortened barrel life. since then there have been many heated debates on how these throats effect throat life, i stand solidly by my test results. For the CE Lazer projos, a min throat, bore rider design is absolutely best if driving a HEAVY Lazer to high velocity in a fast twist barrel. Unfortunately this limits the rifle one type of bullet. i have found very mixed results with the CE bullets, rifles that like them love them, those that do not, can have serious issues. As such, have a hard time setting a rifle up for one bullet type.... [/QUOTE]
