22-250 loaded with vmax + p-dogs @ 600 yds = day of fun!
Even at 600 yds they go pop! |

That reminds me of watching the trap skeet guys, when they weren't shooting, nearly all of them would put the muzzle of the gun right on their shoe. Idk if they still do that, that was a few years back.

That sucks. Saw a guy do nearly the same thing unloading a 700 in a truck, but he missed his foot and just shot a hole in the floorboard of his truck.

Point Blank? Maybe. It depends upon the construction of the bullet.
At contact or near contact range? Certainly. The two are very different things. |

It looks like his foot absorbed the entire amount of energy it would have taken to launch that bullet at 3000+ fps. My first guess would be that the muzzle was practically sitting directly on his shoe/foot when he hit the trigger.
To me that looks more like muzzle blast than actual bullet damage. Rule #1 and all that. |

Looks like he had the rifle muzzle laying on his foot when he fired. That is what caused the split.

His footwear likely kept his foot (relatively) in one piece.

I used to use a 22-250 for woodchucks. I shot one at about 6 feet with a 53gr Sierra matchking. It literally vaporized the thing. I was wearing pieces of it, picking it's teeth out of my hair. I'm sure it would do this to a foot at point blank range.

Seriously, how hard is muzzle awareness!? "Do not point the muzzle at anything you don't want to kill or destroy" It's not complicated. Complacency kills or in this case, maims. |

The .25-06 has more case capacity, but the projectiles are double the weight. It's a damn fast round, but not as fast at the muzzle as a .22-250. It also has more kinetic energy than the .22-250. |
