Recently I become involved in an a discussion on custom barrels. Is there a winning combination for the throating of a competition bench rest rifle, such as a tapered lead or square sharp rifeling ends, or are they simply all different. Any coment would be very much appreciated?:confused::confused:

Thanks Butch, so the throat is cut tapered to match the bullet ogive?:confused:
 
1.5 degree taper is the general rule with the length of the parallel section to fit bullet and desired seating depth.
 
For a 6ppc, a cylindrical section of about .045-.060 followed by a throat angle of 1.5 degrees per side is typical.

Thanks Butch you have answered my question.:D
