[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 905686, member: 12995"] You're right...I don't want to go there. But you opened a can of worms... And I also don't like being condescended and talked down to by some newbie. So we're gonna discuss this like men. I had used 139 SST's for years out of my 7mm-08 and had zero issues. So I tried them in my 7mm Rem Mag. Just like anything that goes wrong, it's not always cut & dried so I tried it severla more times, and with the same result. I concluded that it was indeed the bullets. It didn't work, so I moved to heavier 160 class Barnes Triple-Shocks. After that never had a problem once I moved away from Hornady bullets. Never lost another animal, never had another one blow up. I've moved on to shooting Nosler Accubonds and Berger bullets these days and having no issues so far. If small "ballstic tip" type bullets moving at high rates of speed at a close target means it's gonna blow up, then how can you explain my perfect entrance and exits, and zero fragmentation with Nosler 110 Accubonds, leaving my .257 Wby barrel at over 3,400 fps, and staying together just fine for 85-150 yard whitetail vitals shots in the ribs?
