[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1128916, member: 4191"] Yes, I've heated plastic-tipped bullets. Both Nosler and Hornady bullets. Not a problem up to 170F. I don't set my oven any higher than 180F. Leave the bullets in there for maybe 20 minutes on a clean dinner plate. Just set the oven temp to no more than 180F. 160F if you're prone to worrying. HBN powder plugging the hollow points on Berger VLDs is a non-issue when HBN coat using my vibratory tumbler. The bigger problem with Berger VLDs is that the tips on a small percentage of the jackets are pinched shut with their bullet forming dies during manufacturing. Those are the ones that are most apt to fail to expand on game animals. Which is why I ensure they all have a void in the tip of the jackets before I hunt with them. [/QUOTE]
