[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 504940, member: 2736"] No . I personally dont like to use throating reamers because of the potential of getting something less than perfectly concentric. With a complete reamer everything is true and you know exactly what your chamber specs/dimensions are. I never recommend building a rifle around a cartridge and bullet combination because if it does not shoot your stuck with a T#&D . But if you build around a use and with the intention of using different bullet styles you can all ways find a good load. There is a practical limit to free bore and I would limit my self to 3/8 of an inch because of velocity on impact with the rifling in a high velocity cartridge. I have a 22 lr that has been in the family for over 60 years and has seen untold numbers of rounds down the barrel. The throat has almost 3 inches of free bore and will still shoot sub MOA at 50 yards .(But it is low velocity). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
