[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 756826, member: 9281"] I appreciate everyone's responses so far but looks like we're getting off track quick. I understand that case alignment to the center line of the bore is critical for accuracy. The match chamber will have a tighter tolerance to keep the cartridge body centered, I get that. Maybe I complicated my question. I am only talking about the throat here and alignment into the rifling. If a cartridge is chambered and the bullet enters a .5" long throat area that has the same dimensions as the O.D. of the bullet, is there any reason that the bullet should lose accuracy even when guided precisely into the start of the riflings? Maybe the bullet has to actually move .5" before contact is made with the rifling. Will the .5" jump in and of itself cause inaccuracy? [/QUOTE]
