[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2697287, member: 122164"] Muddyboots, your question: "Why wouldn't you max out the rifle's capacity based on magazine COAL?" COAL grows from the first shot fired, if you max out the mag length on a new barrel, you are in effect cutting your barrel life. Depends on how much you shoot, throats do wear. If you only shoot 20 rounds a year hunting and checking zero, then barrel life will be a very long time, perhaps a lifetime given proper maintenance. Hammer Hunters will have their own characteristics on how they will shoot sub 1/2" either jumping or demanding to be seated near the lands. Extending the throat to the length you have, I would certainly buy up enough bullets for the barrels' life. [/QUOTE]
