[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1928455, member: 24844"] Another possible factor is that the Weatherby Magnum cartridge chambers were cut with a rather long freebore. The long jump made getting benchrest accuracy something of a challenge. Also, folks tended to go with light weight barrels to help with stalking. The whippy barrels also did not help precision. BTW I know this from having strived for 1" groups in my L±H MK V 378 in the late '60s.. Best I could do was about 125 - 1.5" at 100 yards. Shooting lightweight sucker from the bench was interesting!
