[QUOTE="fj40mojo, post: 411445, member: 19129"] I think [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/members/mslrhunter/"]MSLRHunter [/URL]is on to something. I've heard (never experienced) that Weatherby's tend to have a generous amount of free bore. I modify my own fire formed cases, run some sand paper on a little mandrel to open up the case mouth to the point that the bullets easily slip in and out of the case. After drilling and tapping the case I use a cleaning rod carefully inserted from the muzzle end to aid in getting a feel for when I'm touching the lands and gently snug the brass set screw down (I'm afraid that if I over tighten the set screw I will dimple the cheap *** plastic rod and skew all future readings), then gently withdraw the entire assembly from the breach. Take multiple measurements and average your results. That's quite a jump! [/QUOTE]
