[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1322738, member: 30902"] That's going to be a tall order at 100yds. Really difficult to pick up any trace that close. As for the OP's problem, yes bullets will occasionally disintegrate but rarely will you see it unless you're pushing insane velocities. We first ran into it with some .17 Remington soft points back in the early seventies when my dad's buddy pushed them well beyond design limits. You'd see a little puff of smoke at about fifty yards when the lead separated from the jacket and another at about 75-100yds when the lead just vaporized. My bet is that you're one holing a couple in each group. The easiest way to find out is to shoot some three and four shot strings shooting one each at separate targets. If one of them is disappearing still then you have a problem and need to see what's going on. [/QUOTE]
