[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 68904, member: 8"] Life with a weatherby is not simple as you are beginning to understand. When you rebarrel you will need to make several decisions. None of which do I know the answer to. Weatherby has long throats. Long throats are good for velocity and pressure and not so good for accuracy with short bullets. On the other hand a long throat will allow you to seat long bullets way on out. Barrel twist needs to be thought out. Barrel lenght and diameter have to determined. Neck diameter needs to be specified. You need to specify barrel maker. I had mine put at factory specs being as the first time I didn't have a clue about what I was asking for and the second time because I did not need anything special. I bought my first weatherby in Pheonix City while I was stationed at Ft Benning. Roll Tide. I am originally from Alabama and if none of the gunsmiths on this site offer to help you in the next couple of days, I will send you the name of a guy in Alabama who can help you. [/QUOTE]
