    Usually it is speed related rather than bullet/or caliber.

    3. irregular heat treatment, or heat treatment that had been tempered through high temperature cutting and/or welding of the plate causing soft spots. Get a hammer and a centre punch and test the hardness of the surface of the plate - it will tell you if you have soft spots.

    Personally I'm more intrigued as to how you can hold or operate Centre Punches and hammers with..............................flippers

    Not tested the speed on the factory 7 08 federal, or my handloads on the 308 sst and 243 nosler 85 sp.
    Factory spec on he fed 7 08 suggests around 2650 fps mv

    Pengy come to the Toby shoot. Gibo and I have been talking and we want to give my theory a go from the top of Brads' wool sort table.

    How close did the 708 hit the the original holes?
    Could this have something to do with it?

    That's pretty lethargic so would suggest that is probably the answer.

    brain storming here maybe if you wear stiletto,s when shooting off the 7hoe8 you might feel better about it or if you get pissed about the result you could kick the hell out of the gong and put a real dent in it
    food for thought himmmmm#%!?
