[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1316000, member: 10755"] I am a fan of Weatherby cartridges, have/do own 270 Weatherby, 300 Weatherby, 340 Weatherby and 375 Weatherby. Have had 378 Weatherby and a 460 Weatherby both in Weatherby rifles. This is why I have a dislike for their rifles, will not own another one. Both would not extract fired factory or reloads, had to push fired cases out with a cleaning rod, they went back several times and in the end I took a refund. The free bore is a plus, it reduces start pressure allowing higher velocity than normal cartridges can produce, I like this. When I chamber a Weatherby, I use either the original 1/2" freebore or the 5/8" freebore. The newer shorter freebore of 1/4" or less is no different to other throat lengths of other manufacturers. I don't get why they have shortened the freebore, as I have never had accuracy problems, although I don't shoot BR with any of them, but do use the 270Weatherby in 1000yrd F-Class for fun, it's not competitive in the top 20, but it still does the job.
