[QUOTE="Howland, post: 1365091, member: 103509"] I know that when I was developing a load for my 788 in .22-250, some loading manuals said that light hollow points pushed close to 4,000 fps can expand as soon as they leave the muzzle on contact with air. That could explain what you've observed. You said prairie dogs so I'm assuming a varmint cartridge. What type of bullet and do you know what the muzzle velocity is? [/QUOTE]
