[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 575628, member: 29890"] My weatherbys are short throat match chambers in most cases, however I have a 257wby with .355" freebore that will shoot 1/2 moa any day. With common tangent ogive hunting bullets (not berger vlds even though they sometimes work with a pile of freebore) you will not notice any difference in accuracy. I shoot benchrest and if I get a one hole wonder and have run out of room to chase the throat in, the barrel is likely to end up 3-4" shorter. I have yet to see any chambers, even custom ones with less than .045" freebore, most saami chambers have atleast .100" freebore, I have a factory ruger m77 all weather ultra 300wm that is factory and has .215" freebore, so unless you have side by side proof with two identical rifles with factory length identical rounds, and the only difference is one has .100" freebore and the other has .350" and a seasoned shooter operates both and I can witness the difference in accuracy, I call BS on freebore hindering accuracy unless your to good to shoot anything but bergers!
