[QUOTE="Rotten, post: 3093055, member: 129641"] I would make absolutely clear how much free bore you want with your longest bullet. I made up 2 dummy cartridges when I had my 270 wsm re barreled for a faster twist rate. I wrote down I wanted .02 freebore with the 175 gr. Tipped game changer. What was delivered was .750 freebore. Basically a 140 gr bullet would be completely out of the case before even making contact with the lands. They did however make me a new barrel with what I wanted but still can't get the velocity where I think it should be. Don't know why. I'd ask your gunsmith on his opinion as far as freebore with the longest bullet you plan on using. Had two rifles re barreled by 2 different companies and none of them even responded to my request about freebore. The other rifle was a 25 creed that came out perfect besides not responding to my asking. Anyway good luck with your wsm. I like them but seem but not worth the hassle. IMO [/QUOTE]
