[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 2882180, member: 117715"] That kind of RPM on such a thin jacketed bullet tends to lead to midair blowups. Usually you can get away with it with a fresh throat. Some people claim that button rifled barrels do better, and so do 5-groove barrels. If you start having bullets fail to reach the target, you may have to switch to the 115VLD or something with a thicker jacket. I was blowing up 108 EOL’s in an 8” twist 6mm Rem. Don’t remember the velocity. [/QUOTE]
