[QUOTE="pineywoods, post: 1219727, member: 48843"] Thanks for your input JE. I started to take the rifle back once I realized a couple of factory rounds wouldn't chamber. Once I fire formed some cases & saw how accurate the gun was along with the fact that I handload exclusively.... I reconsidered. I'm thinking .069 difference is negligible ? & may buy me some barrel life. The only problems I can see come in are if larger bullets need to be backed away from the lands & I'm shooting a case full of slow burning powder. I haven't loaded anything slower than IMR 4831 which has proven extremely accurate with 100 ttsx & 117 sst (The new IMR 4451 is giving similar results). If my assumption on the freebore being negligible is wrong I'd love to hear some more feedback. [/QUOTE]
