I will tell a experience that I had with a 22-250 of mine that might explain this guys story. I got a wild hair of trying to match 220 swift performance with my 22-250 so I got a box of 45gr sx bullets and was loading close to 4000fps.. I would get. A super group going and then one bullet would completely miss the paper. Checked the scope etc and then my buddy was shooting it and I noticed what looked like a vapor trail coming from the barrel . Sure enough the little sx bullets were so soft that some would disintegrate leaving the barrel.
