[QUOTE="LongRangeJunkie, post: 1177660, member: 23996"] Twelve years ago before I knew anything like I have learned from this site, a buddy of mine took my 300 Weatherby to his smith to true and rebarrel. At that time all I knew was more speed, so I was set on shooting Nosler 165 BT. I only shot the gun a few times and actually thought I was shooting 165's but there were some bullets that were sticking and I actually had to take a rubber mallet to open the bolt. I later realized that there were a few 180 grain BT mixed in. The COAL were the same for the 165 and the 180's because of magazine length so the free bore should be the same for either, if I am correct. So, why was I have the problem with the 180's? Still have a lot to learn. A LOT! [/QUOTE]
