I didn't mean in my earlier post that the Weatherby freebore caused me any great problems, it didn't. My Sako was plenty accurate even with the extensive freebore. However, being a curious person and a tinkerer, it's just my nature to want to experiment with different handloading techniques and seating a bullet next to the lands is something I'd like to be able to play with. With the .300 Wby I could seat bullets as far out as the magazine allowed and still not be anywhere close to the lands. I have no misconceptions, though, that switching to the .300 Win. will somehow allow me to kill more animals, it certainly won't. It simply adds another variable to my reloading, which to me makes it (reloading) more interesting. Plus, I had loaded for the Wby longer than any other cartridge and was growing bored with it.
