[QUOTE="Elkndeer, post: 1209081, member: 96566"] Thanks for the input sable tireur. I guess my follow up question would be if I go with a heavier longer barrel (straight taper 26" at least) as I had already planned, What are my chances of winding up with a 1/4 or less moa gun with saami spec chamberings? Everyone is all about the freebore causing accuracy problems and shortening it causes pressure problems....that said I have loaded for some but definitely a minority of weatherby factory guns that shoot phenomenal. All with the light contour should be noted. Im even considering going away from the wby calibers to a rem mag or rum to alleviate this concern all together. Problem is I have about 1000 rounds of 300 wby brass and at least that many bullets I wouldn't have much use for if I changed calibers plus the expense of new brass and bullets. My end game here is a high velocity high bc round that will lengthen the ethical distances for a hunting gun. I have no doubt I can get the gun to shoot well. Million dollar question is will it shoot at the higher velocity nodes accurately which my current setup will not do thus rendering all the higher velocity (and expense) of the WBY useless. Thanks [/QUOTE]
