[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1323489, member: 2736"] +1 I am also one of those that don't like to throat a chamber after it has been chambered. If you "Must" throat, Buy a reamer with the added throat to it. This way there is no possibility of getting anything off the bore centerline. If everything is aligned perfectly and the throating reamer if held in perfect alignment everything should be ok, but the risk are greater when throating later. Another thing is that when throating for a specific bullet there is a risk of it not shooting well and then you may not find 'any' bullet that will shoot well. Normally when going to a heavier bullet less powder is needed anyway so I personally don't see any advantage in throating because it changes other things (Mag lengths, pressure and in many cases it can degrade accuracy if the barrel doesn't like the bullet. There are many ways to improve accuracy and velocity without throating. This is just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
