[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 857951, member: 26549"] I was shocked. Guns and Ammo November 2013. I have enormous respect for Craig Boddington but the statement, “At modern velocities an exposed lead tip will usually burn off…” in his article “Deer Bullets 101” really surprised me. While I am no aeronautical engineer and don’t really know the amount of heat generated but bullets traveling at 4000+ fps (which few modern hunting rifles attain), it would stand to reason that I would have read about the issue and it would have been used as an advertising ploy years ago. I was truly surprised. [/QUOTE]
