This is an old thread, but I'm wondering, anyone here loading to the throat?

That was the first thing that struck me with the 204, how far out the throat was. I could only load Blitz Kings to kiss rifling, and then only the 39 BK because it has a truncated boat-tail. 40 VMs did terrible, couldn't touch the neck AND the rifling. So did some gold-tipped Rem factory fodder, just all over the paper. But the 39 Kings shot.
So did 32s after I'd done a concentricity check on fired cases, culling those that formed off center in what was a FAT chamber.

And yep, TAC works nicely.
