[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2216154, member: 10755"] Ok, let’s get some things squared away here. The throat is that part of a chamber, including the leade, that is free from any rifling forward of the neck of the cartridge. The length of the throat is the entire portion. Freebore is a term that describes a throat that is longer than conventional length. Leade is generally the tapered section of the throat. Many throats have 1.5° or 3° leades, but there are many different angles in use. There is no hard and fast rule about whether a bullet is accurate close to the rifling or far away, those statements made by people that bullets are more accurate close to the rifling know very little. Just because ONE bullet in a sample of ONE time happened to be the most accurate, after doing close seating depth tests, and then say a blanket statement that that bullet LIKES to be close just isn’t true. There are several distances that barrel harmonics will have a bullet exit at that are relatively still in oscillation....I know, I test, just the same as I can take a ****** combo, change primer brand and have the load shoot bug holes. There are no set rules with accuracy, what works for ONE rifle may be a complete TURD in another. Too much emphasis, rightly or wrongly, is focused on seating Bullets close to the rifling, this notion that a bullet tips on it’s way to the rifling when far away is rubbish, the throat parameters control this, barrel harmonics determine accuracy/precision.
