[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 594879, member: 505"] The freebore myth is not an issue. I have numerous freebore rifles that are excellent 1000 yards killers. The 300 wby is an excellent cartridge shooting on average 125 fps behind the 300 RUM which is not much difference really in a hunting situation. I was shooting one of mine yesterday with the c32 180 grain cutting edge bullets which are high .5's bc. With that bullet it is a 1000 yard killer. The cutting edge and Barnes ttsx like to be seated off the lands a bit making them good choices for freebore rifles. The 200 grain barnes is a 1000 yard killer out of a 300 wby. The 180 scirroco is also a good choice. With the thick copper jacket they also like to be seated off the lands for best accuracy. [/QUOTE]
