There was a recent thread about a fellow who had a 300 MkV set the lugs back using factory ammo, but he admitted he was a long range shooter who also handloaded with this gun. He claimed his non- Weatherby authorized gunsmith determined he actually stretched the action.
Last he posted, actually Weatherby posted, they received the gun back and were going to allow the owner to decide if he would tell us if it was a Weatherby issue, or shooter issue.
This was a custom built rebarreled long range rifle, and the gunsmith who built it said it was stretched. Many readers , through his disclosures, determined from Shooter he had no reason to believe the action was stretched and it well could be a improperly headspaced / overload causing his issues.
