[QUOTE="Gary2881, post: 630101, member: 44743"] I have two rifles in this cal. My first is a Mauser action with an 8 twist Kreiger 30" heavy stainless barrel with a muzzel break. The Sierra 80 gr. shoot the best. This rifle is so heavy that it is pretty much a bench only gun, but still much fun. Since I liked the 22/6mm, I built a more portable model. I rechambered a stainless, 22-250 Savage varmint barrel and mounted it to a long Savage action. I use this rifle with 55gr bullets to shoot Nutria across grass seed fields. Usual shots 400 yds. It seems to hit them harder than my 22-250AI. I wish I could help with this problem, the 8 twist barrel only likes the 80gr. Sierra's, but otherwise is very easy to load. As far as I can tell, I have not had any of these blow up. When I bought this barrel, I got several thousand bullets from the same batch, and that is the only ones that I've used. Maybe you need to try a different batch of bullets? Also, is it possible that your load is too hot and you are driving them too fast ? Don't know if that is posible. Any way I hope you get this sorted out. Both of my rifles are about as trouble free as any of my others. Gary [/QUOTE]
