[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2461091, member: 101791"] I never like the free bore in the WBY rifles. They are a petty rifle, but kick like a mule. I shot my uncle 300 WBY. Couldn't get it to group. I felt that the free bore, and light weight barrel contribute to the poor grouping. I knew there velocity was above my 300 H & H at the time. I could get the 300 H & H to group just fine. The cost was above my pay grade at the time too. The twist rate were standard at that time, which isn't the case anymore. heavier bullets required faster twists. So now it's up to what you want to shoot down the tube. All my rifle are the older twists, and I have only one that will have the faster twist barrel. So nothing against them, but nothing for them either. Now in today time, and faster twist barrels they have great velocities. [/QUOTE]
