[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1346576, member: 13632"] It's not a bore rider throat it just has shallow rifling for a section before going full depth, this has been done of and on over the years dating back to the 80's for at least one reamer maker I've talked to. You can gain speed but you have to have the capacity to take advantage of it, it can bump you to a powder you don't want to use. It without question lowers barrel life, half the land is gone, no way around it. I've played with the throating on a number of them and the rifles never changed in accuracy but did allow using a powder to run the speed I wanted. There are numerous benchrest shooters shooting some version of hybrid throating be it the dual land or bore rider, most I know don't find it really worth it. [/QUOTE]
