How many and how large fragments? I find it very hard to believe the entire bullet would fragment into pieces. The petals shearing off and leaving only the stump, sure.

Yes that has always been my experience but as I suspected it probably was a problem with the copper being way overworked and thus very frangible basically turning them into varmint bullets. I have heard that at one point Barnes had trouble sourcing good copper and this was probably the result.
My experience with Barnes has been very different but I sure can't fault Murky for not using them based on his experience.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
