[QUOTE="GPR23, post: 1755169, member: 104192"] I haven't read this entire thread but didn't see this mentioned so thought i would throw it out. I think speed of the bullet and twist rate also play a very important factor on if a bullet will "splash" I hand load some 53gr 223 ammo. In my ar-15 with a 8 twist barrel i have had the load splash on a coyote shoulders. In my remington 700 with 12 twist barrel i have never had that issue. They both have same length barrel with very similar muzzle velocity. However the higher RPM of the 8 twist makes the bullets more fragile and prone to "splashes" or exploding on impact. [/QUOTE]
