Short throat issue, rifle wont chamber anything with a COAL over 2.245

Hawk518 Wrote:[ATTACH=CONFIG]14654[/ATTACH]Found my new go to load for my 120gr needs. I had to abort attempts of using the Hornady 120gr ELD Match due to lack of trust in the Hornady manual for that round. It does not compute with my barrel chamber!! So after testing an new bullet today over 26.6gr. of IMR8208XBR in hornady brass with Winchester primer and .002 off the lands at 100 yards its the .....Sierra match king!! a little over 2400fps out of a 20inch radical firearms re-throated AR barrel. Now my personal recommendation to any one having issues with reloading hornady ammo in a short throated rifle...don't do it!! It may be fine for other manufactures barrels but nothing but potential for disaster in mine!

It would be better to get rid or fix a short throat rifle then to ever use it.
