[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1152165, member: 4191"] I agree your test only demonstrated a higher melting temperature of the new plastic tips compared to the old plastic tips. Other than that, nothing. I explained why the leading surface of the tips wouldn't degrade due to conduction of heat that originates in the core of the bullet during the bullets' short times of flight. Plastic doesn't conduct heat quickly enough. Correct versus presumptuous? I'm sure about the first. You express certainty of the second. To the extent any individual or entity had/has any cause to prove anything, I give you Hornady, the company discovering and reporting this new finding. I found zero talk about heat from the base or the core of the bullet conducting forward to degrade their old plastic tips. So discard everything I've stated. Hornady ONLY focused on heat generated on the leading surface of their plastic tips. Are they also presumptuous? [/QUOTE]
