[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1513872, member: 24284"] .300 Weatherby Magnum and "match reamer" or "minimum throat" don't even belong in the same sentence, if you want to be able to use factory loaded ammo....…. If you want to shoot factory ammo, use a SAAMI spec finish reamer. Weatherby 'controls' pressure with the long throat. If you shorten the throat, factory ammo will create more pressure. With the higher pressures, safety becomes a concern. You would experience hard bolt lift and short(er) case life, at minimum. The finish reamers made by JGS and Manson Precision are of minimum dimension as provided by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute. The Weatherby family of cartridges were not designed with the "do it all" capability in mind. A good chambering job in a quality made barrel blank, properly fitted to the action , will most certainly exceed performance expectations. It is a 'hunting' round, treat it as such! [/QUOTE]
