As I am 100% a target shooter I can't be bothered wasting good barrell life on a projectile that could let me down with "missed" shots.

and this is why certain people say the super fasttwist barrels shouldnt be mated with super fast castridges...the RPMs are just too much,and a slippery projectile is going to have issues as it is combine that with a thin jacket and you asking for trouble......bit like driving in the rain on slick tyres and trying to corner fast...its not going to end well. its not new problem...they struck it when first went really fast...eg the .22 swift....had to change TYPE of projectile to get them to hold together.....now the fast twist rate barrels make it worse..... all things in balance grasshopper.
