Throat length, does it really matter that much?

[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1003283, member: 10"] How many times have we read here on LRH where someone had a given chambering but with a long throat and they were reporting velocity levels far over what was normal for that chambering and claiming that it was because of the longer throat allowing the use of much more powder to be used? When in fact it was simply because of the amount of powder they were using and pushing pressured over where they should be. The point of this test was simply to show that the length of the throat has very little to do with peak velocity in the whole scheme of things. Never made claims that it was a revelation of any kind, only offered the information so that someone could see the actual results of comparing two different throat lengths and that if your getting much more velocity with a given throat length, its likely because your simply running high pressures. To MANY here on LRH, especially recently, this would be a revelation. While I was not expecting a lot of difference in velocity, throwing opinion out there is much different then posting actual test results that proves the opinion. That is all I did. [/QUOTE]
