6-5-300wby

Oh that's interesting….so as the throat degrades velocity drops off then? Is that basically from throat erosion having created some "freebore" that drops chamber pressure with equal charge weights?
That is the theory. I shoot a lot as PRS competitor. I was running a 6XC a few years ago knowing it was near end of life - at start of match I chronographed and velocity was down about 50 fps - at 600 yards I started having issues with good impacts then a flyer 2 foot away. Pulled that barrel after the match.
 
If you go with the Talon, the first thing I would do is get a real muzzle brake. I cannot tell the difference in recoil with the brake on or off my 6.5-300 Vanguard. I own a number of Vanguards and have found them all to be exceptionally accurate with handloads.
What would you consider, (make) a real brake?
 
My load. Middle of the road. I can add about 200 fps to that easy but I don't "dog" her.
