[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1505537, member: 30902"] We were loading 20gr speer and nosler bullets in them originally and my dad's bud that did the loading was a real hot rodder. At least a 1/3 of them were vaporizing between the muzzle and a hundred yard target. To solve the issue we went to the original Barnes X. When saw it worked as designed dad bought a couple of thousand of the same bullets so we'd never run out. Keep it under 4,000fps and they'll shoot great and last forever, push it further than that and bad things start to happen pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
