They will come apart. I have see it personally. Before the plastic tipped bullets, I shot a lot of Hornady SX bullets. I had a fast twist .223 and about one in four reached a 100 yard target. I ditched them for a Speer 52 grain HP. Funny thing is that they shot fine in a 1 in 14 .22-250 at full velocity. The box says max velocity is 3500 fps, but a cousin was shooting them in a .220 Swift at full velocity and they performed great. So the spin is definitely the problem.


If the rifle is a fast twist, yes. Not all AR's are.

I've seen them come unglued at Swift speeds with slow twists.
