Most times lightweight varmint bullets will disintegrate when they hit the ground, yet I've had several 40g bullets from my .22-250 whine off into the distance. Heavier varmint bullets ricochet more often than the light ones. No harder to skip a bullet off water than it is a rock.
Just takes the right set of circumstances.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
