[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 1009813, member: 68226"] Be careful with a rebarreled Weatherby. Many smiths do not put the Weatherby engineered freebore in the chamber. If that is the case then all loads out of manuals and others will be drastically different. Added barrel length in the caliber will result in 20 to 25 fps per inch of barrel. For a side note, I have worked with a lot of these since they have come out. From Complete rail guns to hunting rifles. The 5c Broughton will outshoot all other barrels in this Cartridge. I am a Retired Weatherby gun builder/ smith and for the life of me I have never seen how one specific manufacture and type of barrel works with one cartridge better all the others. The 5c and Tim's unique lapping process has to work harmoniously with the internal ballistics of this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
