[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 109490, member: 2852"] I personally have chronoed the 210 Berger VLD's at velocities higher than what you have reached with no problems so I don't think it was the speed that blew them up which is usually the culprit because of the increase in rpm's and resulting increasing the centrifugal force. I once had a gun that began doing the same thing as yours with the 80 grain Bergers. Used to shoot them into scary groups at 1k but once the throat got a little worn, the roughness was something the Bergers couldn't handle. They would go out there about 100 yards and then poooff! Switched to the Sierra 80 grainers and they lasted for about another 150 rounds or so until they started blowing up too. Check the throat on that WBY. If it is rough, you may have to shoot the Sierra 220 MK's. They work great as well. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
