Accuracy is very good overall with this throat length, especially with TTSXs. Bob and I had many conversations about this and we both came to the conclusion that I just have a slower barrel. 3150fps is about it's limit before case life goes down the drain. I don't think that another 50-75fps means much anyway.


For sure. I don't sweat it too much either. Just surprises me how some do it easily and others struggle to get there.
