[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 2000139, member: 27974"] Friend built a 36” 7 STW Improved for his Uncle as a bench gun. Had to use a 7 twist to get that long of a Lilja barrel. Thing blew up both Sierra MK and Berger’s in 193 and 197 weights. Around 3200 FPS. Anyway they about gave up and thought a mono was the only chance... tried 175 gr ELD-X on a whim and it’s shooting them 3350 or so and they re hanging together! Took it to a mile a few weeks back and it’s happy! Jacket thickness is a big deal; especially with long barrels and high velocity. We were reading everything we could find on the subject and apparently the heat of the twist/velocity on the bullets lead core is a major factor in bullet failure. So jacket thickness does make a difference! [/QUOTE]
