[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 593705, member: 2736"] Like everything there is a practical limit and I would say about .250. I have seen lots of rifles with more than that that shot very well but with more you run the risk of damaging the bullet from to much speed when striking the lands. Normally most bullets like .020 or more, unless the rifle is set up to touch the lands and to deal with more pressure. Free bore is not an accuracy issue as long as you have a good chamber and good reloading skills. The advantage of free bore is the more you have the less pressure you generally have with the same powder charge helping to utilizes longer barrels. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
