[QUOTE="Arkansasdad, post: 2289459, member: 76766"] If these targets are were shot at 100 yds., I do not see any bullet fragmentation. Bullet fragmentation would look like small shotgun impacts and I don't see it. What I can say is that you may be over pressuring the bullet, through a powder that is to slow or over powder. Pressure should climb until 3 inches from the end of the barrel and then drop, if pressure runs out the end of the barrel you will have powder flare and erratic bullet behavior as the uneven burn makes the bullet waft and tumble as it pushes the unconfined bullet past the crown. I would start with five grains less or step down 1 on the burn chart and rework my recipe. Happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
