[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1462985, member: 10755"] Having done this myself, I would NOT go shorter than .375” on the throat. Regardless of how much jump you have or not, it will be a fruitless endeavor if you short throat the 270 Bee. Pressure will run sky high and you will NOT get any where near the velocity you expect. Mine is at .375”, I have no trouble getting ragged hole groups with plenty of jump at 100mtrs. In my opinion, the standard .375” freebore length should work well even if your mag allows more bullet to protrude. .097” is quite a bit of room, is your mag length around 3.620”? My rifle (Win Model 70) has only 3.400” of mag length. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
