Long-throating barrels can provide higher velocities

Shooting Industry, Feb, 1990 by William Schumaker

Meanwhile, keep in mind that no amount of long-throating can compensate for a powder that is too fast. I have on file a letter relating to IMR 4895 in the .300 Weatherby (yes 4895!). The reloader, being told by a so-called expert) that 4895 was similar to 4350, started slow and worked his way up. He didn't have to wait long, he blew the locking lugs off his rifle.

Bench Rest Dies Superior

Bench rest loading dies are designed to align the bullet with the cartridge case when being seated. Our Forster-Bonanza bench rest .223 dies, with neck and full-length sizers are among the best production dies we've used. It always helps to back up good gunsmithing with good equipment.
