[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2243011, member: 9299"] Sorry guys, but cup-n-core and solid copper bullets CAN and HAVE started fires in very dry conditions. Many years ago, I watched the dry grass in front of my steel target begin to burn, so I did a little research, and discovered the bullet impact temps against hardened steel like AR500 could reach temps high enough to melt lead and were well above the ignition temps of summer dry, low humidity grass. There are numerous reports of fires being started by shooting, and even the striking of a rock can cause temps to ignite very dry grasses. [/QUOTE]
