Rule 1. Don't use high power rifle rounds on .22 twirler targets....it ruins them as you learned.
As the others have said, a .22 is a low velocity round, as are most straight walled cases.
A .243 is a pointed projectile, necked cartridge. So they do tend to have much greater chamber pressures and velocities.
