How Many Water Filled Baloons ......

Awhile back I was out hunting groundhogs for a friend that was experiancing some damage to his crops from the little guys , I was using a Win. M70 chambered for the .225 Win., I was shooting some pretty hot reloads and before quiting for the day I noticed what looked like a bottle cap on the bottom of the dredge ditch along where I had been hunting, the water couldn't have been more then 10" to 12" deep, I took a shot at it and right away noticed a lot of shiny gold colored specks all around it, after a second shot it became pretty obvious my bullets had disintegrated on impact very near the surface. I'm sure that's no surprise to all of you that like shooting those hot, small caliber rounds. I guess that .225 would barely get into the first baloon.
