[QUOTE="INVICTUS, post: 1754196, member: 38297"] The answer is a big Yes . I remember being a teenager and shooting round after round from a 270 win Ruger M77 MKII at s blade of tall grass from about 100 yds. I had wounded a deer a week earlier and the wound pattern did not make sense to me. A relative told me “you hit a tree limb”. So I began to experiment. I hit the grass eventually and shatter a 130 jacketed soft point (federal). A piece of the jacket actually stuck in the surface of the 3/4” ply wood is was using as the target approx 3 feet behind the tall blade of grass seed. Since then having been in hundreds of engagements and seeing what a 5.56 mm round does when impacting , the results because of this fragmenting effect can be shocking . Even from a steel core fmj Bullet. The can definitely fragment. However I believe bullets are made better now than anytime in my life but it’s still possible because of the sheer velocity they impact. [/QUOTE]
