When talking about about throats and throat angles, it's kind of hard to visualize. This morning, I was bore scoping a new barrel for this season and thought it gave a pretty good representation of what we're talking about. Put the Hawkeye away and put the Teslong in for ease of grabbing pics.

From rt to lt: The chamber neck is to the right. The narrow band to the left after that is the 45 degree transitional angle from the end of the neck to the throat. Moving left, now we're into one of the lands. The throat angle is clearly visible on the upper edge of the land as it transitions from throat diameter (.3085 in this case) to land diameter (.3000). More correctly, we're looking at the land height relative to the throat.

For what it's worth, for anyone interested. -Al
