[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1662582, member: 9281"] The Weatherby is too long, that's it's downfall. And the SAAMI throat is so long that usually you can't get a bullet near the rifling. If you want to use a premium long range bullet like a Berger 215 and mag feed, you'll be jumping about 2 miles before bullets reach the rifling. Then you lose your case capacity. Bad choice in my opinion. Take a ballistic twin like the 30 Nosler...throated correctly for a 215 Berger touching the rifling it can still easily be mag fed in a 3.7" box. There's a pretty good consensus among wildcaters that the shorter, fatter cases are more efficient, the Weatherby certainly doesn't fit that category. [/QUOTE]
