has any body got one on here?

Do you? I once had a friend with a 22-243 (similar ballistics, shorter neck?) and he was getting 4500 fps from an old Sisk 35 grain bullet and a 26" tube. Every 5th or 6th shot the bullet would come apart in mid trajectory! He torched the barrel at about 800 rounds pulling such tricks. I think he was getting about 100 - 150 fps over his Swift with 40 grain and up.~Andrew
