[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 881338, member: 35183"] If you have not already, take a look at Mansonreamers.com Small business in Southern MI, make excellent product. They are willing to talk to you about your project too. They have throating reamers on page 9 of their catalog. Having a suitable depth throat is pretty key for best performance with high weight bullets. Just remember that your barrel may not be that good with lighter caliber bullets afterward. If doing it yourself, you may want to do this in stages (go 2/3 of what you think you can increase) and see how it works out. Nothing worse that going too far.... Seating the bullet further out will lower pressure and decrease velocity but your max load "should" be higher once you have broken in the new throat with the bullet seated further out. [/QUOTE]
