[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1308224, member: 48043"] I believe it's the same issue as the Berger "hunting" bullets where the jackets are a bit thin and the bullets get warped a bit when you really get on them. Extreme cases will cause full jacket failure... I've also had the issue with the Barnes matchburner bullets... Often backing the load off a bunch or switching to a smaller chambering cures the issue, but when you are swinging a big stick, you may have to go with another pill to realize your rifle's full potential. As far as copper issues- I usually use Alliant powder so I don't have some of the issues some have with coppering, but I'll watch for it in my creed as I'm working with h4350 there. [/QUOTE]
