[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1180610, member: 12995"] No, more freebore is not the answer. My opinion...Back in the 1940's and 1950's, sure, it was the only way to get that kind of velocity out of those over bore cartridges. Roy's method for success was more powder in a bigger case, stuffed behind a given bullet. It is not necessarily wrong, and for the time was the only way to make his cartridges superior. But these days in modern times with modern powders and bullets, it is an outdated method. And no, I'm not a Weatherby guy either. For his time, Roy was innovative, but in modern times, the relevancy is still there, but is not a necessity. I don't set into the lands except for on one particular load for my .308 Win. And you are right, there's no need to seat into the lands, unless you have to. I doin't have to with that load, but I am getting 1-hole groups wtih it, so why Change it? I've read the article before. And yes, we both have legit points, but differing opinions on certain things. I'm not saying the OP NEEDS to do anything, but a specially cut throat is not a "must" for a custom rifle. They do have their benefits in certain situations, as I posted in my previous post. There is a legit reason to do it, but majority of situations it is unnecessary (once again, my opinion). You're right, he should weigh all the options. And the process is not complicated, if that's what he wants, go for it. But it is not always a "needed" thing. Sometimes people that are new can over-complicate things based on what they read online and what they hear, and I was once that way, and I'm sure you were, too. At one point in time, we all were ignorant (not meant derragatorively) to the ways of custom rifles, and we were at the mercy of what we've been told, and the gunsmith building it. I don't want to argue with you, so I will agree to disagree on this particular subject. [/QUOTE]
