[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1266441, member: 5219"] I wouldn't worry too much about the jump to the lands. Load up the bullet of choice to cycle from the magazine and work up a load. Weatherby rifles and a few others have yielded excellent accuracy with the bullet jumping a huge distance compared to your rifle. Some of the early Weatherby rifles use quite a bit of freebore. Cartridge Throat length (free bore) copied from Weatherby's website under frequently asked questions: .224 Weatherby Magnum .162 .240 Weatherby Magnum .169 .257 Weatherby Magnum .378 .270 Weatherby Magnum .378 7MM Weatherby Magnum .378 .300 Weatherby Magnum .361 .340 Weatherby Magnum .373 .375 Weatherby Magnum .373 .378 Weatherby Magnum .756 .416 Weatherby Magnum .239 .460 Weatherby Magnum .756 .30-378 Weatherby Magnum .361 .338-378 Weatherby Magnum .361 If it doesn't shoot to your satisfaction then move to a Berger hybrid. I would suggest to you that a hybrid WILL shoot with the jump to the rifling. [/QUOTE]
