[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 226891, member: 8"] It is unclear as to how the rifle was configured when it shot well. Was it with a bipod or without a bipod? Was the bipod on dirt or concrete? I do not see any problem with increasing the COL as long as you do it with a moderate load and work up to max with that COL. I would not worry about magazine length as it is not a first priority to shoot twice. First priority is to shoot accurately once. I doubt that increasing COL will do a lot of good. It may do a little good, but with the amount of freebore in a Weatherby you will still have a long jump. A bullet with a long bearing surface will often times jump better than a short bullet.
