Picked up a 7-1/2" EAA Bounty Hunter .44 way back when they first came out. Throat was cut so large and deep a 300 gr. jacketed 454 bullet would drop in the throat past flush. Patterned like a shotgun at 15 yards. Returned for warranty. Came back with a note, function checked "within factory specs". I had read about your "Taylor Throat" and working in a metallurgical lab with a complete machine shop, I did a lot of Gunsmitting during lunch hours. Cylinder throats all measured .431"/.432". Set the barrel back 1/2" lathe bored a 10 deg. forcing cone, 1/2" of .430" Taylor Throat", and 10 deg transition. Cast bullets hovered around 2" at 25 yards after that. So a sows ear was turned into a silk purse. I Thank you.
