[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 791020, member: 12995"] Yep, sounds like the typical freebore to me. Weatherby chambers have something called Free-Bore in them. Which is a smooth part of the bore, where the rifling hasn't started yet. Therefore, you will just about never be able to seat a weatherby up against the lands, withough only getting a couple thousands of bullet in the neck, which ain't gonna work so well... Atleast, with my .257 Wby Mag it is this way, and so is my buddy's .300 Wby Mag that I load ammo for. For my .257 Wby, I just load them to fit a few thousandths inside the magazine well, so I can load them in there, since my .257 is one of my 2 main deer rifles (other is a Browning A-Bolt II 7Mag). So I don't want to shoot them single-shot, so I load those 2 rifles where the ammo sits JUST inside the magazine wells. You could always rebarrel it with a standard .300 Wby Mag reamer and you will be able to set the bullets up against the lands, since it will not have any freebore in it, unless you order your reamer to have freebore...
