I have read a lot about bullet fit and cylinder throat dimensions for cast bullets but almost nothing about jacketed bullets. My question is regarding a S&W 686 Plus that has all 7 chamber throats measuring at .3565" using the Brownells pilots for the Manson reamer. I plan to shoot mostly jacketed bullets at medium to low velocity for each bullet weight and some plated bullets.
I have access to a Manson throating reamer that will cut to .358". I have not slugged my barrel but I have use a Range Rod and it has a slight thread choke of about .0005" at the frame. The gun does shoot pretty well at around (5 shots) 1.2" at 25 yards with a scope from sandbags with the barrel resting on a bag. Plated bullets shoot about 2.5" at the same distance. Will it hurt any performance or accuracy to open up the throats to .358". I am probably overthinking this which why I need a sanity check from more experienced shooters in this forum.
