I bought heavy bullets for my rifle. They keyholed because my twist rate was wrong. I didn't even know that was a thing, it is important to check twist rate before buying ammo. Ever have bullets not stabilize in your gun?
 
Twist rate lessons are memorable. Nothing like keyholes to humble your ammo choices fast.
 
Seeing keyholes on paper will teach you a lesson fast. I now check barrel info before I buy heavier bullets.
