[QUOTE="MT4XFore, post: 271874, member: 4945"] In my experience the caliber of a rifle has waaaaaaaaaaay less to do with its accuracy than the quality of the rifle, the ammo and the shootist. Oh yes, you can throw a good scope into that equation too. I have an Mk V Accumark that is completely stock except for a bedded action and a free floated barrel. I worked up a load for the 200 grain Accubond and interestingly my load is identical to Longshot's with velocity within 5 fps. It too shoots this load to half an inch regularly. I was always led to believe that the freebore Weatherby uses is there to increase the velocity rather than decrease it, because it allows higher pressures safely. Some Weatherby's a few years ago did kinda overdue the amount of freebore they used, but I think that has been corrected. A reasonable amount is not a handicap to accuracy. Enjoy your new rifle, take care of it, treat it well and it will take care of you. [/QUOTE]
