[QUOTE="just country, post: 1121833, member: 82689"] morning, my smithy was talking to a fellow who had just bought a vanguard 257 wbee. he did not mention to my smithy that the rifle would not shoot good groups. the smithy ordered a new shilen barrel, 5.5 contour. installed the barrel. when finished gave the weapon back to the owner. the owner took the rifle to the range. the rifle would not shoot better than 2" groups. the smithy ask the customer how r if he was handloading the rounds. the customer said he was loading to touch the lands. the smithy laughed and said wbee's have a free bore. so do not try to touch the lands. the customer went purchased a box of wbee ammo. went to the range and proceed to shoot .500 groups. i know this is the truth. i met the customer. i made the same mistake trying to touch the lands with my 257wbee. quit loading that produre and got the spec's. for the factory loaded round. everything good. my gunsmith was MR. Tip Burns. works for Mauser Firearms now, not in private practice. thank u for ur ear!! just country NRA-TSRA life memberlightbulb [/QUOTE]
