[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 380798, member: 8"] In my new Wby barrel, it has a target leade which means I can jam my bullets. This helps accuracy but probably leads to shortened barrel life. I had a while back a 1-10 twist barrel with standard freebore and it would not stabilize the 95 gr Bergers. They have a very short bearing surface and do not like a lot of freebore. I would suggest that perhaps you could get the 105 A-Max to stabilize better than the 95s. I shot a lot of deer with the 85 grain Speer and Barnes X bullets in the old 10 twist barrel. In the new 8 twist barrel I shoot 115 Bergers and RL22. The big problem with the new factory Wbys is that the barrel is only 24 inches long. As Joel said, with high BC bullets the 240 Wby is a great 1000 yard rifle. [/QUOTE]
