[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2694606, member: 122164"] I have had a number of custom barrels installed on Mauser, Model 70, one savage, and several Remington 700's in 257 Weatherby with zero freebore to .030 freebore, and still have the reamer for .030 freebore. Accuracy with these short freebore chambers is 3/8" and less with the 85-87g bullets at 4100, 100g at 3850, and 115g at 3600. Quick and easy load development with R#22 and fed 215's. One 12T, 30" hart barrel produces 4000 fps shooting groups in the high 2's with Sierra match 100g, rock chuck rifle. All deer shot with the 100g die at bullet impact, laying in their tracks. With a good muzzle break, you see the bullet impact on the animal, water vapor flying off the hide, bullet impacting behind the animal after a pass through. 12T hart, 30" is up next to shoot the 80g TTSX, got the barrel on a screaming deal.
