Thread: 180 ELDM Blowing up

Yes was definitely due to the rough throat, if I did another one I’d go with a 5R that should be a bit easier on jackets, although
7-800 rounds is about all the life that you’ll get out of a 28 Nosler barrel anyway.
No, I just re-barrelled to 7 Blaser and prefer it to the 28 Nosler.
