[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1346885, member: 5262"] The likelihood of you being able to "re-throat" it for a specific bullet is slim. Lot's of factory Remington RUM barrels were long throated to begin with. The most likely scenario for the factory barrel is to see where your lands are, then simply have a Wyatt's extended box added to allow you seat a bullet close to or at the lands. Wyatt's has a couple of options that allow ~3.825" OAL and one that goes out to about 3.99"-4.00" length. My factory RUM barrel (the slimmer mag profile) was throated so that I could seat a Berger 230 HT to right at 4.00" OAL. I now have a Krieger bbl and it has 0.098" freebore and I also have a Wyatt's extended box for 3.825" OAL. Works good with the 0.098" freebore. I'd shoot the factory barrel first as JE Custom suggested. Then go from there. My 300 RUM will shoot the 210 Berger VLDH to 3150 FPS from a 27" bbl at ~ 0.4 MOA with only about 35 rounds down the tube so far. [/QUOTE]
