Probably it's a combination of speed, twist and jacket construction.
I was going to mention that...it could happen if you are pushing a thin jacket fast out of a long tube. But since the OP was talking hunting bullets I didn't want to confuse him...

Except, that seems really odd that they are coming apart on you out of a .243 Win. My 1/8 isn't THAT much slower then your 1/7.5 and it shoots the 105 A-Max, 95gr B-Tip and 87gr V-max really good.
