[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 297052, member: 1290"] I have not found the freebore to be an issue at all. Weatherby designs it to fit pretty snug to the bullet so it just guides the bullets nicely into the rifling. In my 300 Wby I just load to the magazine 3.7" and in my 257Wby my most accurate bullet is the 75 grain V-Max. It is "jumping" about .450" to the rifling. It groups in the very low 3's and better for 5 shots. Load it to feed from the magazine box and concentrate on getting the velocity it likes. Mine really likes the 200 grain Accubonds at 3100-3150.
