[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1148446, member: 48028"] Im still sceptical about the melting tips, but the soldering iron test does seem to show that they are using more heat resistant material. Is this a marketing scheme, or a real problem? I dont know, and again it would be easy for them to find out with one run in a wind tunnel that wouldnt even be that expensive for a company like Hornady. They could take pictures of the melted off tip, and all that. Even better, do before and after pictures of competitors bullets compared to the eld bullets, though thst would require multiple runs. Why not? In any case, if they improved the terminal performance on game that to me will be the best quality of this new bullet. Long range shooters are fortunate to have companies that are manufacturing great long range bullets. If this new bullet performs better on game, well, whats not to like? Improving the bc due to the heat resistant tip would just be icing on the cake. The geeky engineer side of me would still like to see that mach run done though lol... [/QUOTE]
