Throat Length for 6BR

[knightsniper]

I'm in the process of building a 6BR with a 12 twist barrel. I would like to shoot 70-80 grain bullets, preferably 80 grain Bergers. What throat length do most target shooters prefer? Thanks for all input.

.060 or so will work with most 70-80 grain bullets. I would email Bart Souter and ask what he is using. His 80 grain bullets have been killing it in 12 twist barrels.

On Bart's web site, he gives suggestions for the throats depth.
