[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 1135213, member: 40654"] That's a very interesting picture... personally, and for years, I've wondered whether excessive heat on j-4 jacketed bullets in (my) Lazzeroni Firebird was the answer to all the problems I've had with every j-4 bullet I tried to load. Berger Hunting, Berger Target, Marshall's Matrix 190's, even to certain degrees (no pun intended) with sierra jacketed bullets-- every type mentioned had 'some' that would blow up like puffs of smoke before 100 yard paper... betcha any money (now/looking at that pic) that it's all been due to excessive heat on them over & above anything else.. that led to jacket failure* Thanks for posting that. Because of the mentioned circumstance, I am absolutely as anxious as yourself about a bullet design like this with "heat" effects in consideration to design! Albiet being the tip, it still is very relevant! Excellent to now have a better-BC bullet to soon use than the LRX I've made my #1 pick for so long. I can hardly wait to find these in-store. In your guys testing (Aaron) What barrel twist did you use in the LRM's, or STW's that you shot the 175's through? I haven't seen a bullet length noted anyplace to try use as an idea thru the twist rate calculators, regarding stabilities & barrel twists n so on.. wonder if you could shed some light on that for us?
