[QUOTE="slikmrc, post: 2111751, member: 116436"] It's been my experiance that Weatherby rifles generally have good chambers. I would take a deprimed case and put a piece of scotch tape on the case base and see if you feel any resistance on the bolt close. If not keep adding tape until you do, I figure 1.5 to 2 thou per piece of tape. If this load is weak you should see soot an the case neck and shoulder. Could be undersized brass I suppose, would be helpful to know how fast the load is going. Imr 4064 has always been a great powder in the 30-06, 49 grains should be running around 2850 I would think.
