[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1472960, member: 22069"] Yes, velocity can (and does) cause structural failure. However, your assertion that is the cause of the reported failures is based on ZERO evidence. Your claim that 2750 from a 7.5 twist is sufficient to cause this failure is baseless and STUPID. Extrapolating that claim from max velocity quoted in a reloading manual, which is only a reflection of PRESSURE LIMITS at a given OAL, is just plain ignorant. Hornady, themselves, have not asserted that the design limits of the 147 ELD-M were met or exceeded. On the contrary, they have stated they couldn't duplicate the issue and replaced the bullets. Maybe you should enlighten their engineers? I am sure there is a lot that they don't know about behavior of their bullets that you can explain to them. [/QUOTE]
