[QUOTE="slowshot18, post: 2290363, member: 119000"] Spoke to Hornady today. They were pretty much useless. They said that with my twist rate and speed, these bullets will not hold together. Their threshold is 282,000 rpms. Hornady offered to test the bullets in one of their 7mm mags to see if its an issue. I told them that the testing would be similar to comparing apples to oranges and they agreed. They offered to swap with ELDXs but I declined. I asked them why they do not have a disclaimer on the boxes of these bullets stating that if shot at _ twist rate and ___ FPS, failures would occur, even though the bullets have a 1:8 twist rate on the BC listings on the box. The rep simply said they could not do that. Hey, he's just an employee doing his job and he did not make the bullets so I could not be angry with that individual. I did not expect much from the call, but I at least had to give it a whirl. I've moved on from Hornady bullets in my 28 nosler. Lesson learned! [/QUOTE]
