[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2525196, member: 66917"] One of the most common things I've seen reported in the last 3 years have been spinning up bullets too much. A lot of people have reported bullet failures, ie. bullets breaking apart before reaching the target in fast 6.5s. The Hornady 147 ELDM seems to be vulnerable to fast twist barrels from the various mags floating around 6.5 PRC, 6.5 SAUM, 6.5 300 Weatherby, 6.5 Shermans. A lot of reports against 7-7.5 twist 4 groove barrels. I have a 1:8 on my 6.5 PRC and it has eating everything with no problems. [/QUOTE]
