[QUOTE="CAM, post: 152904, member: 330"] Steve Definitely thinking out side the "box"!! I can blow up bullets with out any problems also, But have went to either heavier bullets, decreasing FPS, or different twists to "cure" the problem! I had a 1 in 10 four groove in a 30-378 and gave up on the lighter bullets (lead core) and even blew a few 216 CR!! never could get the Barnes bullets to work in my gun either. I've came to the conclusion that some things work better than others, I have over come my "need for speed" and have backed off on pushing the envelope! Its so much easier to learn from others expence and tuneup a proven load to your gun. It seems to me your going in the wrong direction pushing smaller bullets faster with more powder, I went the opposite direction and down sized my case from the 30-378 (127.4 grn water) to the 338Lapua (115.5 grn water before neck size and fire form, 118 maybe formed) small down size, But still 10% less capacity. can push the 200ish grn bullets to the FPS I was down loading the 30-378 using 10% less powder. You have your work cut out for you hope it works as planned. keep us posted on your progress! You might want to team up with Wildcat he seems to like pushing small for cal bullets FAST and might know some secrets!! I built mine for an Elk tipper over, so I lean more for heavy bullets than lighting fast no drop. CAM [/QUOTE]
