[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1509094, member: 85987"] The excessive freebore and price of the components would be another reason. Great cartridge for mpr no doubt. However to build a tight twist rig you would want to have a reamer cut for a specific bullet. Now you will run into issues with factory ammo blowing primers in summer if that throat is too tight. At minimum $30 on ammo seek for federal and the cheapest weatherby ammo and most of the stuff you'd want to use being over 50 a box it would be tough to just throw that brass away to find out. I had a 300wby with a shillen cut for the 190smk for camp perry that would not shoot box ammo safely. I never made to Ohio with that rifle but I did shoot a bunch of local events with excellent results at distance. This was 89-91 time frame. The smith who built that rifle is still with us at 92 or 93years old and he still shows up at his shop every workday. His son in his late 60's runs things now [/QUOTE]
