Out of 17 units in the safe, the Weatherby's are the only ones not seated near the lands. Everything else is as close as I can adjust, but no kissing. With the Weatherby's and their freebore, it's nearly impossible to reach the lands. I've tried them long to such a degee that the pills would only marginally remain in the cartridge. Had to chamber them by hand not beause the magazine was too short, but because the bullet/cartridge alignment could not take the lateral stresses of feeding. My thoughts are that freebored Weatherby's need a little more catridge grip on the bullet to generate consistent pressure at light off. So far, each of those has come into line after I started progressively pushing the bullets deeper into the cartridge. I have not tried crimping on the Weatherby's but I might give that some thought. I should shortly have a 240 assembled and I will likely go through the same exercise again. 1Minute
