Crazymonkey Report post Posted October 20, 2022 .Lance is definitely the guy to talk with. I would guess it's relative to how close you are to max pressure. I'm loaded in the middle of the book for powder but have a long barrel for a 7-08 at 26 inches .I'm also running lapua brass and barns copper. Lance is a super cool guy and did answer a lot of my questions about loading and rifle setup.I figure I'll try my load suppressed and see how the brass looks and how it shoots .I'm going to run the chronograph to see what it does for velocity. I WAS RUNNING AT 3034 before . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted October 20, 2022 It was just a suggestion. I know he has a lot of reloading knowledge and also suppressor experience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was Roy Weatherby's approach with long freebore producing higher velocity. Finding your relation of bullet to lands is best done by removing the firing pin assembly from the bolt and seating a bullet incrementally longer till it touches the lands. This is for bolt action firearms of course. Finding the "touch" for your rifle chamber is important from the standpoint of safety. Getting a bullet stuck while shooting a match or on a hunt can have drastic results and ruin that shooting experience! And no. Adding a suppressor is not plausible! Your bullet to lands measurement is not accurate or your load is too hot to begin with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More velocity, no chance of jamming a bullets into the lands, what's the negative? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get that some bullets like being closer to lands, but some like a jump as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe their sub moa is with their ammo. I’ve never had a Wheatherby that wasn’t a good shooter. is “sub moa” accurate enough anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
