I've personally shot the three bullets mentioned at extremely high velocity with no issues.
17gr >4500fps
20gr @4400fps
25gr @4200fps

These from a 17 Remington.
I also have a 17 Mach IV, (same as the 17 Fireball)
a 17 Hornet and the 17 HMR.

The Hornet works very well with the 20 V-Max and AA-1680

None of them fly apart unless you hit something. When you do, they almost always stay inside the critter. The critter usually sounds like a sack of Jello.

Can't speak for shooting in the rain cause I really have no desire to kill vermin while it's that nasty out.
