[QUOTE="B23, post: 1676926, member: 13222"] The only factory bolt guns I have are a couple CZ 527 17 Hornets. I've also had a CZ 527 in 17 Rem and 204 Ruger, and all of them had throats so long the bullet was barely touching the end of the case when I checked them for COAL. I have two CZ's in 17 Hornet, both were bought brand new and shot factory ammo about the same, depending on the Lot# 3/8-3/4 in. groups at 100yds. As an experiment, I sent one of my CZ 527 Varmint 17 Hornets off to have the barrel set back and rechambered with a custom reamer, the gun only had about 15 rounds down the pipe from new when I had this done. My thinking was a tighter spec custom reamer with a shorter throat would shoot better, not that it really shot bad before. To my surprise, shooting factory ammo, it didn't really change a thing and shot pretty much the exact same. I understand this isn't comparing apples to apples, but like has already been mentioned, I'd shoot it first and see how it shoots before I got to concerned about anything else. [/QUOTE]
