How many of you having issues with the 88 eld-m are guys slangin them with a 1:8.
Previously I had a bunch of 1:7 barrels and shot 88 eld-m, 90 A-Tips and 95 smk and never lost a bullet. (Muzzle velocity between 3080 and 3180)
Have since dropped down to 1:8 and 75 eld-m, 77 tmk and 80 eld-m( the 75 “outruns” it’s larger brethren and kill just dandy) it’s also a great crossover bullet
for shooting coyotes and can be launched at Mach Jeezus take the wheel.
If The 1:8 is marginally stable with the 88 and that might lead to marginal results on target.
Although they might be more prone to tumbling which could also be beneficial.
This new Sierra 88 will likely make it moot but just something I’ve been chewing on with these increasing reports of on game and reloading bench issues.

My 1-7 barrel didn't like them. On the last S2H podcast they mentioned that sometimes seating adjustments in a big move can improve a load. I was seating at 20 thou but maybe 60 would be better? But this pipe is halfway through its life so I'm not going to waste anymore life trying to play with them.
