[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1694989, member: 19988"] I’m not a gun smith but I know it has to do with the throat tolerances. Like how far the bullet set into the lands also. There needs to be more jump from the bullet to the lands. I don’t understand all of it but when I had my Krieger Barrel put on my 260 Rem the gunsmith told me he set the through long so I could load hotter. The max charge on my 260 the reloading books say 40 grains. I’m loading mine to 42.5 grains. I’ve loaded mine to 44 grains with no pressure signs but the accuracy is not there, so I load with 42.5 grains. I have learned over the years that there is gunsmith out there that do it straight by the book. Then there is gun smiths that have fielded experience. I choose my gunsmith with the field experience. Did a little long rang shooting talk with him. I could tell instantly he is a shooter and not just a gunsmith. A gunsmith is like a college graduate. I know what I’m doing I went to college. But when you ask, they have no field experience. A great gunsmith has tons of field experience. [/QUOTE]
