[QUOTE="INTJ1, post: 575547, member: 34312"] Setting back and rechambering can sometimes be done once, but it isn't the beat idea for top accuracy. Many BR shooters refuse to rechamber a barrel once the throat goes for this very reason. The biggest issue with the 7mm Wby is the .375" of freebore. That much freebore is not what one does when looking for the ultimate in accuracy. Yes, we all have had a freebored rifle or two that shot well and in most hunting applications freebore isn't an issue. However, an 800 yd rifle needs every advantage and freebore isn't optimum for accuracy. [/QUOTE]
