[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1347053, member: 11132"] The only issue you have with longer throats even the gradual ones is having the ability to chase the lands. You are already starting out with a long throat that either gives you more of a jump or setting the bullet out further. As the lands erode you need to set the bullet out farther if you want to keep the same jump. With some cartridges and bullets the amount of jump is very forgiving......IF the chamber has been cut dead nuts straight with the bore. Others can be a bit finicky with changes in jump. The other issue would be if it was a mag fed cartridge. You will need the mag COAL to be able to set those bullets out further to keep the same jump. I am a firm believer in a high quality nitriding job and without any doubt what so ever I know in all my barrels it has increased throat life. I would say by double. [/QUOTE]
