[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2225418, member: 2939"] It's always been a controversial subject. But many years ago I bought a Weatherby rifle and really got into the how to make accuracy. Facts are bullets near the lands builds pressure and free bore gets the bullet moving before it hits the lands and barrel resistance decreasing the pressure spike. I started having my rifles made with .250 free bore. Yes i did some COL math on seating depth. If I was shooting some really long VLD and seating it way out it just turned my rifles into a single shot. If you put a stack of spire point BT in a rifle magazine like out hunting and pull the trigger. Look at all the magazine rounds. They all have flat noses from the recoil. After i saw that I became a single shot person. You spend all that time inside and outside neck turning.......... to make it the most accurate you can, only to get slammed by the recoil. In all my lower 48 state big game hunting I never needed a second bullet anyway! :) [/QUOTE]
