[QUOTE="Bronc1, post: 1431836, member: 100054"] My gunsmith is just finishing my custom 300 win with a Stiller action. When I ordered Bartlein barrel from Red Hawk I was unaware that it was a tight bore (.299) nor was it advertised on description. The rep from Bartlein, Red Hawk, and my gunsmith advised me that it was fine and just start working up loads a few grains lower than normal. All 3 guys said that more than likely I will hit pressure sooner which makes sense and find more velocity than a standard barrel. Does anyone have any experience with reloading for a tight bore or other considerations? This rifle was built for big game hunting and I would like to shoot a 180 grain accubond or partition.
