[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1147128, member: 48028"] No. Im talking about mounting the bullet in the test fixture in the wind tunnel, run it up to 3000 fps or so, and then simply look at the tip. You could also directly measure the drag on the bullet. The bullet wouldnt be rotating, but you could at least see aerodynamic heating. Or you could wait for a no-wind day, shoot it straight up, and catch it when it falls down and see if the tip melted off. Any volunteers?? [/QUOTE]
