[QUOTE="Its204fast, post: 2118860, member: 114347"] I'm of the mind set, that a long freebore is great if you're specifically using VLD or secant ogvie bullets, the down side is, if you have to go back to using tangent bullets, you have too much freebore to get good pressure, reducing accuracy. 170 Gn. for a .270 is a hoss! before I started reloading, I had a guy loading 90gn Sierras for me and he said by the book they were around 3200fps. I load for 2 Remington 700's, one chambered in .204 Ruger, it likes a rolling start, I can't remember exactly how far off the lands it is but I know its way back. The other is a 7mm Rem Mag. If I remember correctly, I have the bullet about .020 off the lands and it shoots better than you'd expect for a used rifle. [/QUOTE]
