[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 109616, member: 8843"] Not normal for a fast twist 22 but it is common with some barrels , usualy 3 grooves are harder on barrels than the 6 or 8 and if its a cheaper barrel like a Shaw or Adams and Bennit then the bore could be rough. But if its not blowing them up untill it get dirty then its probably just the bore getting tight from copper buildup. I heard of a fella that was blowing up 105 A-maxes out of a 28" barreled 6mm-06Ai , if I'm not mistaken he tried moly coating and it helped but still lost one now and again , his barrel was a 3 groove Pac-Nor super match that had over 1000 rounds through it as a 6mmBR then was set back 2" and rechambered to 6mm-06Ai. I'm sure that after 1000 rounds going through it and that much cleaning that it should have been plenty broke in. you might want to try the Sierra Match Kings in 77 and 80 gr or some Bergers. I have had cases that the 50gr Bergers would hold together when the 52gr A-maxes were blowing up. [/QUOTE]
