I am very dissapointed with Berger bullets regarding the 338 hybrid bullet.

[QUOTE="groper, post: 403351, member: 12550"] Bryan, you may have answered this already, but as yet i have not found a response from you to kirby allens issues with this pressure theory... From some of his testing, he stated that he tried some very light loads of H50BMG in the 338 cheytac varient cases to the point where he was getting hang fires etc... he estimiated that the pressures would have been 50,000psi or less, but obviously with long barrels and such a large case, velocity was still quite high.... However, he was still getting the accuracy problems and suggested it was more the velocity and more specifically the RPM`s rather than pressure deforming the bullets. He could not get the bullets to perform well at any velocity above 3000fps regardless of pressure, and tested the bullets to the point where they came apart not far above this point. Im simply curious, but how are you determining that it is infact 'nose slump' rather than some other form of deformation, and that it is caused from pressure and not excess velocity or RPM`s?
