If it doesn’t come apart before it gets there! 😁 memtb
Sneak closer.
It's worth it!
My buddy Mike one time pulled the 40 grain HP from a .22 magnum shell and loaded it in a .222. That was too much strain and the jacket was failing but it made it to the squirrel .. a nice smoke trail from muzzle to hair. Maybe ya had to be there .. to me it was pretty special.
I used to load 30 cal Speer 110 gr Varminters in my 30-06. On the first experimental run, I had to move up to twenty yards before I could find a hole in the paper. Then it was six holes from one shot.
I had a lot of fun with that bullet, and vaporized a multitude of ground squirrels and muskrats. Once I reduced the MV below 2000.
But, yes, pistol bullets can self destruct if over twisted and/or pushed to fast.
