[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2594587, member: 66917"] I looked through the thread and didn't see you saying you tried a different bullet from the ELDM. The 140 and 147 ELDM have a history of blowing up in some barrels. The barrel you are seeing this out of might be engraving the bullets enough and spinning them to a high enough RPM to cause bullet jacket failure. Many people trying them in the 6.5 PRC were experiencing bullet blow up in some 7 and 7.5 twist barrels. If you are driving the ELDMs faster than a PRC can then even and 8 twist might spin up enough RPMs to cause the issue you are seeing. Maybe load up some mono bullets and see what happens. They don't blow up. [/QUOTE]
