[QUOTE="arrow, post: 599404, member: 9798"] Ive been thinking about a 257 for a while now and now its starting to come together. I have been reading about the no freebore and from what i have read it sounds like the way to go. When they say no freebore what do they mean by saying "no" freebore. Wouldnt this be different for each bullet because the ogive is at different lengths? So when they say no freebore does this mean you get the throat cut to touch the ogive of a certain bullet and seating depth? Also one more thing, i am looking to use this rifle mostly as a flat shooting general purpose rifle mostly for whitetail, muleys, and antelope so i was thinking somewhere around 100 grain bullets for the speed. But i would also like to have a heavier load with 115 or 120 grain bullets for the occational elk or bear. So how would i go about having this throated with "no" freebore if i was looking to shoot both loads through the rifle. And one more twist, what about if i have it throated for normal 100 or 115 grain loads and i wanted to shoot berger vld's with the long ogive. How would that work as far as touching or jumping the lands a certain amount. And i handload by the way. Is there something im missing? Am i not understanding something right? Can someone please explain this whole thing better to me. I know its alot of questions but i would really appriciate any amount of help i could get. thanks [/QUOTE]
