[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 510186, member: 30902"] Kevin you make two points there that make perfect sens. 1) I hadn't considered the fact that most of the tumbling media we use are highly combustable such as corn cobb or walnut shells. They would certainly disintegrate and fly off as ash quickly with any high speed round. 2) On the sampe point, what I was thinking of would be the media not having a smooth but rough point which would be off center would change the flight characteristics considerably, but then, since it will have burned off almost instantly, that issue is gone. Good points. I have actually fired some FMJ's over the years with a bent tip which were completely useless past about 100yds which is what got me to thinking along those lines. The two are of course in no way related because of your points above. Thanks. WR [/QUOTE]
