[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1365353, member: 9172"] Actually no...it was my 6-47L with an 8 twist trying to shoot the 87, 75, 65, and 58 grain V-MAX. The tube has about 1500 rounds with the 105/108 Bergers @ 3150. NONE of the 87 grain and under VMAX bullets made it to target during load development. MOST of the 70 grn Balistic tips make the trip. ALL of the 105 class bullets make the trip in ALL of my 8 twist 6mm's. I didn't try them, but I am sure that one of my 8 twist Dashers with around 2200 rounds of 105 class bullets at around 3050 would explode everything under 87 grains also. I am sure that something with a thicker jacket would help. Also, there is a reason the Berger came up with an entire new line of TARGET bullets...to help with bullets comming apart. Tod [/QUOTE]
