[QUOTE="mark223, post: 1754363, member: 16109"] [I] I know that Hornady .224 50 gr SX bullets from a 22-250 that is grossly over charged with H380, shot on a HOT, muggy Midwest summer day, at 100 yards, doesn’t make it to the target in one piece if at all. They just blow apart in the air. And the bolt was real tough to open. Hm. Imagine that. I thought I was just missing so kept moving closer. At 25 yards I realized that the target showed lots of small pin holes and a few bigger holes where some larger chunks passed as well. I’m lucky I didn’t end up with a few pin holes in me! That was decades ago and I’m a little smarter now. However no one ever said my I.Q. number was higher than my hat size. They may have a point. :)[/I] [/QUOTE]
