[QUOTE="Danny1788, post: 2096784, member: 19965"] I had an issue with the 168's in a 7mag I built. the guy I built it for shot maybe 300 or so of them with no issues had a great load for it. He ran out of his supply and bought a few more boxes, this was about a year after I built the rifle. He loaded up the new 168's and they all tumbled we tried bullets from every box with same results. Barrel was a 1-8" twist 5r chambered in 7mag, I was dumb founded, I took the rifle back and cleaned it really well and tried again. The barrel Could not stabilize the new lot of bullets. Cleaning the barrel made no difference and the throat and rifling all looked good. He switched to the 145LRX and has never had an issue since. I have never found an answer as to why this happened.
