[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2630557, member: 68875"] I have seen the video before. I understand the heat sink aspect. But a cautionary warning is never a bad thing. I still tell my guys every day to be safe in their tasks they perform daily. There was a post about someone "annealing a Berger then tipping it over in water to cool". If you are properly annealing the copper jacket to the temps needed, the lead inside is molten, if only at the point above the waterline. Still sound advice to be careful. But again, how far do you plan to hunt with these manipulated bullets? When velocities drop below a certain point, you are just beyond your rifle/cartridge/bullet choice capabilities to deliver the on-game performance needed, no matter what you do. Want to stretch it out? Take more gun. [/QUOTE]
