[QUOTE="JakeL, post: 1149054, member: 76526"] Hornady stated somewhere in their marketing material that the tip melting was mostly a problem with muzzle velocities over 3,000 fps, and didn't really cause much trouble till the ranges exceeded 400 yards. So a 140 6.5 creedmoor with a muzzle velocity around 2750 likely isn't going to exhibit much trouble from tip melting, according to that information. If you took something like a 6.5 magnum of one kind or another, and launched a 140 at 3200 fps, that is the scenario Hornady is stating that the melting is taking place. [/QUOTE]
