Bullet Rickocet!
« on: April 22, 2010, 08:41:38 PM »
Well all have been there when you shot your .22 and it went "WHING" to god knows where ever.   But when you shoot a .17HMR Vmax it blows up on a twig.  So I guess the Q is a centerfire at 3000 fps with Vmax  be safer to shoot than a .22LR???   Share your thoughts on this Please.                    Thanks Jeff   ;)

 :D  Bullet wt. has a role also.. a 223 at 3000 fps. with a light bullet will be safer than say a .30-06 with a 150 at near that speed...also style of bullet has something to do with it..FMJ bullets would bounce more than say a soft point...this is why the .22 cal. like 222,  223 and 22-250 are popular with varmit shooters everywhere...their soft point and hollow point bullets are made to "blowup" on impact...the faster the bullet and the lighter the bullet the greater the chance of blowup.....
