many bullets will not reach the target. the 88 is a great bullet but if you push it you will have it blow. so far the 87 has held up, too.
the 90 has always been reliable for dogs.
 
At what speed are these coming apart? And how does bbl heat effect this?
Anything that can cause excessive heat and friction to a bullet can cause it to come apart on the way to the target. A few examples of this are , Velocities approaching or exceeding 3400 FPS, Bullet RPMS approaching or exceeding 300,000 RPM. Barrel length over 28 inches, Excessive barrel twist rate, BARREL CONDITION IE throat cracking, copper and carbon fouling , chipped lands.
Long bullets seem to be more susceptible to destruction than short flat base bullets.
