[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 2381911, member: 27974"] I did some googling around on cause of bullet blowups a few months ago and found someone who seemed pretty knowledgeable state that the main cause of bullet blowups was heat caused by friction in the barrel. ( velocity/twist/length of barrel caused). This seemed to hold true with our findings as the same load out of a 26” barrel and 3200 ish would be to the target and same load in a 30” barrel bench gun ( cut with same reamer) blew up bullets that were approaching 3325. So velocity part of it but friction is my hunch a bigger part; at least within reason. Think back to when you were a kid and slide 4” on your knee across the carpet vs 12” across it!! 😜 [/QUOTE]
