[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1761592, member: 2736"] Another thing I found was that even the mono metal bullets have problems at ultra high velocities/RPM because of the center of gravity even in the best of bullets Is never perfect and at the RPM they turn (Around 400,000 RPM)if you could make a bullet perfectly balanced It would have to be a solid shape (No hollow points) and that would render it useless for hunting. I consider 3800 to 4200 ft/sec to be blazing fast and more than enough to do anything that is needed. My experiments were to see if there were any limiting factors in the pursuit of velocity, and at some point the problems out weigh the results in my opinion. I am fortunate to be able to experiment with/build my own rifles and then able to adjust or even re chamber to save the rifle and expense. My labor is free if it is something that I want to try on my rifles. In my days, as a builder and a shooter, I have fallen into the high pressure trap and also the high velocity trap and have learned my lessons the hard way. Now I look for optimum velocity and maximum accuracy, I know that there are always compromises But Zero problems and maximum fun is the order of the day now. :) Again, Just my opinion based on my testing.
