I have witnessed two guns/loads exceed the integrity of a bullet. One was a Savage target model 22-250 1:9 with 40 gr Hornadys that stated for use in the Hornet. It would make it about ten to fifteen feet and just turn to a gray dust. The other was my 300Bee 1:10 with 110 gr round noses for M1 carbine. I loaded too much 7828 when a breeze turned the page on my manual and used 180 gr data with 220 gr Sierras. So I pulled the heavies and just stuffed the RN on top. They made it to the target, but disintegrated from the paper/cardboard target.

I would really like to have tried it on a squirrel!
