[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 816638, member: 68226"] [I]I know Broz another member of this forum does not agree with me on this and even thinks I am full of it, but if you have worked on as many of Weatherbys as I have you will come to the realization no bullet will be more accurate in a factory barrel Weatherby with its freebore as the Barnes. Bergers will shoot 1 to 1.5 inches at 100 which in my book is sub par. Bergers have always given flyers in freebored rifles that have factory looser than normal throats. They can shoot somewhat accurate in a tight throat freebored rifle.[/I] And typically shoot very well in a tight throat barrel that the bullet is into the lands. I have set the barrels back on many of Weatherbys and tightened up the necks to shoot the softer bullets like the Bergers with great success. I would stick with the Barnes bullets if I was you. They are a deadly accurate as any you will find, they love Weatherbys freebore and I have yet to see one the jacket will rip off of or distort due to velocity. Lol they are solid! [/QUOTE]
