[QUOTE="Pointman, post: 1759979, member: 102254"] The only projectiles I seen "blow up" were the factory 17 Remington loads my wife was using in her new rifle. It was in the mid-1970s when she was shooting at the range on a foggy day with me. She told me she couldn't see any hits on the target. The range master speculated that due to the conditions and the speed of the load and the fragile nature of a 25 grain HP in the fog, this was what was going on. At the first "ceasefire", we went to check her target and lo and behold there were many "fleck" tears but no holes. Later that year I was using it on a ground squirrel hunt and took a shot at one at about 75 yds. The bullet never got there. There was some grass between me and the target so the assumption was that the bullet was deflected off course. When it did connect, that little pill did more damaged than my 25-06. [/QUOTE]
