[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 455586, member: 25383"] I bought two boxes of them when they first came out to try in my 270 mag. The bullets blew up going thru card board targets!! Went home and pulled the loads apart only to find everything spot on. Called Hornaday to ask them what was wrong (thinking I had a bad batch of bullets). Turned out that they were not made for the velocities I was driving them at, and were actually designed for speeds less than 3100 fps (I was way past that). But them same bullets would work very well at longer distances (300 to 400 yards), but forget short range shots. gary [/QUOTE]
