[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 296753, member: 313"] There is no definitive answer to your question. Any given rifle may, or may not, shoot accurately with a long throat. Food for thought: My hunting buddy shoots only factory rifles and most of them are Weatherby Mark V's. One particular Mark V in 300 Wby. will shoot just over .5moa @ 200yds with a preferred load. Guess how far off the rifling he loads the bullets + + + .250"! Yup, that's 250 thousandths. The rounds easily fit in the magazine and shoot great, especially for a factory barrel. Try working up a few loads and see what you get. [/QUOTE]
