[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1825482, member: 79106"] The neck and throat diameter on the Precision Rifle Cartridge are cut to much closer tolerances which, all other things being equal, help with accuracy The throat diameter has only .0004 clearance around the bullet which helps keep the bullet started straight in the bore. The PRC is also designed with a longer throat from the factory to allow for long seating of the heavier high BC bullets. There is certainly nothing new to re-throating the 30 Nosler but I took it a little further to .235 to allow seating of all but the boat tail of the 225 ELDM above the shoulder and out of the powder column. So, it's a 30 Nosler reamer with neck and throat diameter of a 300 PRC and throated long...........nothing special. I will have to turn the neck diameter on all my brass for consistency and to ensure proper clearance but I mostly do that anyway. It's more than likely it won't shoot anything lighter than 200 grains well but I have other rifles for that. Basically it was just something I wanted to try. I'm a fan of both cartridges.......hoping to get away with just having one :) [/QUOTE]
