[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 173654, member: 8"] There are a couple of things that might be happening. First the scrape marks may not be the rifling unless you can clearly see that it is rifling by there being distinct lands marks. The free bore that is there may be really tight like mine is (240 Wby). Mine is so tight that it will hold a bullet that is the least bit off in runout. This will result in great accuracy but is difficult to get a good measure of COL. If this is true then your gun will be a joy and delight to shoot, except every once in a while it will eat one of your bullets and you will have to get a cleaning rod and tap the bullet out. Second, is the same type of thing but it is very tapered lands. These have a very small angle for the bullet to start on and make measurements difficult. When a gunsmith puts both a tight throat and tapered lands together it is very very difficult to find the lenght. [/QUOTE]
