[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 502978, member: 25383"] used to have a buddy in PA that built 1000 yard benchrest guns for folks all over the place, plus a lot of tacticle rifles for that folks that had a need for them. He told me once that the best cartridge to start with was always a .300 Weatherby, or one of the sharp shouldered clones. He told me about a 16 year old kid that literally tore up the 1000 yard shooting circut on the east coast with a MK.V. in .300 WBY mag! Virtually every rifle built has some free bore in it, but the amounts will vary (most bench guns don't have very much). Weatherby only uses a large free bore in their WBY. Mag cartridges, and everybody else does as well (hunting rifles). They do this to reduce chamber pressure spikes. gary [/QUOTE]
