[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1677112, member: 24284"] Too many have the attitude that if it's in the loading manual, it's OK in their rifle. It was OK in the rifle the data was developed in, but each barrel is an individual. Some are faster than others. There are lots of new shooters, many who want to be the next long range 'hero' to their buddies and to have something to boast about on the web. Shooting ability, load development take time and money, as does the equipment to achieve precision, long range or other wise. We live in a world of instant gratification. A few will take the time to develop the skills, work up loads and spend the 'extra' cash for the best equipment they can afford. Most others won't. So, the 'factory' firearms makers have to build added 'safety' into their offerings (like long throats), and still keep their offerings affordable to sell "X" number of units. That is how they stay in business, by making a profit,,,,, and that includes not paying lawyers and awards granted by a court for those unwilling to take the long road. I've met people who can't change a flat, let alone not change the oil and filter, or know where to put the oil in, or change the spark plugs. America is different place than it was 50yrs ago when guys grew up learning to do these things. [/QUOTE]
