[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1234329, member: 23486"] I have to ask. Why are you seating them so long? Is this where you found the best accuracy or are you just trying to get closer to the lands? Have you tried seating them deeper? How far are you jumping the bullet now? With a 1-12" twist, the heavier bullet you mentioned may (I said may) not be in your best interest. As a longer bullet will require more twist to stabilize. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if a 175-178 stabilized just fine for you. I've been around several factory rifles that have what one could call "excessive" freebore.... & not just those from Weatherby I might add. If you like that bullet, seat it deeper and see what happens. If not, grab some 175's. Keep in mind that a lengthy jump doesn't necessarily mean your accuracy will fall off, it just might be a little tougher to tune. t [/QUOTE]
