I've been running between 2800 and 2900 with the 147g ELD's in my RPR using Superformance for quite a while. My loads are still below the max load by .4g and are SAAMI length also and show no pressure signs and consistently shoot low .5 MOA's at 800 and 1000 yards. I haven't seen any evidence of bullets disintegrating either. Did the OP ever mention what gun he is shooting?
Loads falling apart at distance.
- Thread starter Hawk in WY
- Start date
I'd check
Scope
Paralax
The actual twist rate
ES/SD numbers - just because they were low for three shots after you erased the two bad ones doesn't mean they are gtg
3,000 fps in a 6.5 Creedmoor is some bullshit and so is Quickload - I'd start over, kiss lands, work up to pressure and back off to a flat spot on the chrony and I'd do it with Alpha or Lapua not Hornady brass.

That's common sense. I'm meaning tight bolt lift or stuck brass on ejection. Its purposely handloaded for higher velocity within the recommended load data.
