[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 65131, member: 11"] No. That is a myth. Try this. Hold a 22 cal bullet with an exposed lead tip in a pair of suitable pliers. Now put a flame from a small hand held torch on the tip of the bullet for 1 second. This represents the time it takes a .22 coming out of a .22-250 at 4000 feet per second to go about 700 yards. The tip wont melt in 1 second even when facing a torch. [/QUOTE]
