[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2047667, member: 4191"] Right. Less than peak velocity may be mandatory with my 7-twist barrel. It seems there's no good way around the Catch-22 of the fast twist rates required to shoot the currently available high BC 88-95gr lead core jacketed bullets, and the resulting damage caused by the high resultant bullet RPMs. Maybe the bullet manufacturers will increase the thickness of their jackets? I'm not holding my breath... Other than that, it's slow them down and give up MV and its down-range advantages, shoot lathe-turned copper monolithics..., or give up and re-barrel to maybe a 6mm Creed and shoot the heavy 6mm bullets.
