[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 210667, member: 2736"] Remingtion has done the same thing that weatherby did along time ago, add more freebore to get more velocity "Safely" . After talking to an engineer at Remingtion about this He said "QUOTE" We had concerns that with the trends of people wanting to seat bullets near or against the lands pressure would become a safety issue,so we limit the C,O,A,L with the magazine . He also stated that if you single load with bullets touching the lands the loads should be worked up slowly to maximium pressures.( most reloaders all ready know this). I encountered a case where a person tried to use factory Weatherby ammo in a custom 30/378 with no freebore and blew three primers in the first three shots fired from the box. So Yes it is on purpose and not a quality issue. But I have not found this to be an accurace issue if properly headspaced. P.S. All of the RUM,s are throted deep . I did not ask about the Short action Ultra Mags (SAUM,s). I guess With all the lawsuits everyone is running scarded . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
