[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2629763, member: 68875"] How far do you want to hunt with them? I haven't found a need to anneal to soften a bullet jacket. I have shot coyotes to 1367 yards and they died just fine. Lead melts ats 620°F. Copper doesn't start to anneal until 700°, up to 1200°. So be careful annealing the jacket, because the lead inside will be molten when you do. [/QUOTE]
