[QUOTE="shooter308, post: 297340, member: 19014"] All Weatherby factory chambers have the long throat "Free Bore". It is to comp. for the large powder charges and high (compaired to others) pressures encountered with the Weatherby chamberings. DO NOT USE max listed powder charges with bullets anywhere near the riflings (If you can get there), you will not like the results. I have built several Wby chambered rifles over the years without the "FREE BORE" but none ever approached book listed max loads or max Vel. The free bore is there for this reason.
