Malm:
How do you determine the correct depth (length) of the throat.
I have throated a few rifles that were chambered without a throat on the reamer. I could not find any information on how to determine proper throat length. Some sources said to throat for the bullet you are going to use, but did not offer any advice on how to throat for any particular bullet.
I measured the throat depth (length) om a very accurate factory .30-06 rifle and throated to that length. IIRC, it was about 5/16 inches, Or about or a little over, one caliber.
