[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 858486, member: 26549"] Here ya go folks. Straight from the horse's mouth...so to speak. Good morning Konrad, Thanks for the email and the question. I have had this question before and it has no merit. The bullet is not in the air long enough to generate enough heat to cause point deformation from air induced friction. Now if you have a thin jacket and soft core at extreme velocities it is possible to experience bullet failure induced by the jacket spinning around the core at which point you will see spirals of dark material on the target IF the bullet makes it to the target but that is a whole different set of circumstances.
