Yes Weatherby's have long leades to stay away from pressure spikes with all the powder they burn. At least that was Roy Weatherby's idea. It seems these days we have cartridges with just as much pressure that don't require such a leade. I've seen enough freebore in Weatherby chambers you practically have to duct tape the bullets on to get anywhere near the lands. As you said though, Weatherby's can be quite accurate. Different way to skin a cat.
Brewman,
Are you sure the Leupy's aren't considered as good? You're bruising my American ego here!(kidding) Are the Sako's considered top shelf there too? It's always fascinated me what other parts of the world think of this stuff.
