For a 7-8 twist set up to the longer bullets, the throat length will be excessively long for best accuracy with the shorter bullets.

Can you explain the above quote? Long, sleek bullets have an ogive that is closer to the case mouth compared to short, blunt bullets. Long bullets typically require a shorter throat than short bullets. If anything, a rifle throated to long, sleek bullets would necessitate light, blunt bullets to be seated quite deep in the case neck to avoid a jam into the lands.
