[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 796879, member: 12995"] Weatherby's have free-bore for a reason. You will never be able to seat that bullet properly and have it be touching the rifling. Tried it with my .257 Wby....Wasn't happening. So I just seated them at the maximum magazine length where they would barely fit, but still feed reliably as a repeater for hunting, and I let it ride. Flatbase or boattail makes no difference to how the rifle likes it....That helps determine how effective the bullet will remain stabilized when in flight. The boattail bullets help create a more turbulent wind drift behind the bullet because of it's shape, which 1) helps stabilize it, and 2) helps it be more aerodynamic and efficient at cutting through the atmostphere. All I shoot are boattail bullets. You should try the Berger VLD's. Try the 168 and the 210's. I have had excellent results with the 210's from my .308 Win, and from my buddy's .300 WinMag that I load ammo for. I loaded some for my other buddy's .300 Wby Mag, but he hasn't been to the range to shoot yet... [/QUOTE]
