[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 836033, member: 7123"] Exactly! Your anecdote jives with the others re: the varmint bullets, even those on the heavy end of the spectrum, like the 55 gr V-max - 55 is heavy for a .22-250, given the twist rate. You'd also be wise to slow them down a bit if handloading, even if using a 55 Game King. It's that combo of light construction + super high vel + low sectional density + hitting a shoulder/bone that is the problem - even a rib could be disastrous with the wrong bullet at high speed (like a 40 gr V-max).
