[QUOTE="just country, post: 1092210, member: 82689"] morning, different bullets have different overall lengths and ogives, if I change bullets as to what I have been shooting. use the dummy bullet theory. every chamber has a different length. Remington's r notorious for having short throats. if u have custom barrel put of a pet action, u can ask the smith to make u a dummy round to get an idea of the length of the throat in the chamber. Weatherby's r a different story. they r made with free bore. good example, this person bought a Howa 257 weatherby . the person loaded some 100gr. TSX. the person loaded the rounds to set the bullets to touch the lands. all he accuracy he could get was + to - 1.50-2.00". had the smith put on a shilen barrel and the results were the same. the person tried different powders, bullets primers, to no avail. being this a weatherby round and the free bore goes with the chambering. the smith ask the person how the person was loaded the rounds. the person explained his process. the smith told him to put x amount of free bore in the rounds. needless to say the rifle shoots .50 groups. this is a true story. I have a 257Bee this was not me!! just countrygun) [/QUOTE]
