Quote from Terminal balistics Research on the WBY cartridge:
"The 7mm Weatherby has almost identical case capacity to the 7mm Remington Magnum. The major difference between the two, is the design of the rifle chambers. The Weatherby rifle chamber features a long free bore while the Remington is quite the opposite, in some instances almost strangling its loads."
So, If I had a quality rifle (WBY is famous for making quality rifles!), and took said Rem 700 (for example) to extend the factory freebore) I would be that much closer to the WBY improvement over the Rem and have the far more widely available and cheaper ammo.
This is a question, not an assertion: input on it would be greatly appreciated!
