Like what?

There is no reason for Forbes to throat out that long.



My point is this....if they throated the rifle appropriately for the 140 VLD, how would this work in the chamber?

I'm pretty critical of manufacturers throating choices too, but I realize they're taking lots of things into consideration. If the 140 VLD was all I was going to shoot, I'd have a barrel screwed on and throated to my liking.

I've also seen Bergers shoot bugholes at long distances with lots of jump.

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
