Interesting, no confidence in 70 positive outcomes?

I have complete confidence in my 22-250 and have never recovered a bullet in three dozen critters. I have caught a bullet every time with my 222. 65gr Sierra's and 55gr GMX so far. 1 turkey, 4 deer and an antelope.

We've caught a few, 3 I can remember, 55 Corelokts from 22-250. They look like a nickel with a short little stem on one side where the base was.
