[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 857187, member: 9551"] You are learning about Weatherby chambers. They are famous for 5/8 inch of "Freebore". Older Weatherbys from the 50s and 60s had 7/8 inch of freebore. Most custom makers avoid the Weatherby chambers because bullets will never see the lands. I am comtemplating a 7mm Weatherby to shoot the 180 Berger VLDs. I like the long neck of the Weatherby case. If I get it done, I will have a custom reamer made with a throat that will allow seating the bullets to the lands and working through the magazine. If you are attached to your .257 Weatherby, I would suggest seating some bullets where you want them and sending the cartridges to JGS or PTG and having a reamer made. Then rechamber your barrel.
