There was a guy who had a rifle chambered for .300 Weatherby but without freebore. He was after more powder volume than .300 Win Mag but little jump to the rifling for heavy boattails at Long Range.

An Intrepid Gunziner did the same to a .458 Win Mag for light bullets at high velocity for the caliber.

A guy here traded his .25-06 for a .257 Weatherby and was disappointed. The then "guarantee" of 1 1/2 MOA was not as good as what his old gun had been shooting.
