[QUOTE="Catfur, post: 982909, member: 41271"] Berger went to increasing the thickness on their match bullets because of in-flight failure during match conditions, where long strings caused intense barrel heat. The hot barrel would transfer enough heat to the lead core to cause it to melt, and the jacket can't contain the liquid (with no structural integrity of it's own). Since the bullet failures occurred in the hottest part of the match, towards the end of a string, this may be the cause. [/QUOTE]
