I have a McGowan .223 with a 7 twist and it has a short throat so I can't really take advantage of the heavy long bullets. I could either buy a uni throater and make the throat longer my self by hand,, or wait til the throat gets shot out more. I've put 1000's of rounds on paper running barrels while there hot and throats don't seem to move hardly at all with me,, don't know why, maybe the cartridge design. I shoot .308's a .223, a pair of 6 br's and 6ppc.
Part of my reasoning to go with McGowen was availability. I'm in Canada and it can be difficult to source exactly what you want up here.
