All--

On the other hand I had a Dave Gentry .270 Wby made with what you would expect was top grade workmanship and materials and....as I designated, a Wea freebore. Accuracy was never more than average at best and mediocre at worst. After considering all possible tweakings and two to three pages of handloads incl different OALs, the Gentrys and I concluded that this rifle doesn't like its bullets broad-jumping into the barrel. I am rebarreling with a somehere around a .277" throat.
Of course, this is a sample of one.
