[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1365152, member: 30902"] We had just that problem with our first 17 rem and my .220 Swifts when pushed at warp 9. You'd see one puff of smoke at about 25-50yds as the jacket shucked, then another at 50-75yds when the lead just disintegrated. We went to the original Barnes X to solve the problem in the 17 and I just backed off of the Swift a bit so I could keep shooting conventional bullets as that was all that was available locally at the time.
