[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1415714, member: 10755"] I have said this many times to newbies and veterans alike, there is no set distance that governs WHAT distance will work in YOUR rifle and there will be MANY sweet spots up close and just as many far away from the lands. My 375 Weatherby has .500” of parallel freebore @ .3755” diameter, even with a 350gr bullet I CANNOT touch the rifling with the bullet inside the case. It still produces groups in the 3/8” range @ 200yrds with 260gr Accubonds. This is excellent accuracy for a bullet that is entirely out of the neck before it even comes close to engaging the rifling. It also produces an honest 3000fps with this bullet, making it a 500yrd rifle if need be. Bullet jump is overrated IMHO, just test at mag length and see where it gets you first is my advice in a hunting rifle. Comp guns are different and require tuning for load AND seating depth to work optimumly. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
