[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 186030, member: 8843"] I have seen alot of very accurate Weatherby rifles and all the factory Wby's come with miles of freebore , thats the reason behind them getting the speed they do. If you use a longer bullet like a 160gr Accubond , or 162 A-max you may be able to seat the bullets out close to or in the lands. Generaly when you seat a bullet out that far and it is in the lands you will not be able to get tom high in the sppeds that some others get asit'll cause a bit more of a pressure spike sooner , but they will likely be more accurate. Now for your gun , if the throat is nice and strait and you load strait ammo then it should shoot fine having that much free bore and you may find that you can get more speed out of it than listed in the books. If it were me I'd shoot the longer bullets a little bit slower and take advantage of all that powder. [/QUOTE]
