[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2276613, member: 94491"] If the plastic tips don't melt ( or do they) then would the lead core melt too? Wouldn't a liquid be spun out by centripetal forces? Does the bullet really reach those temperatures that melt the lead? If your lead core melted, then all lead bullets ( jacket or no jacket) would melt--- right? So we are now all shooting liquid lead bullets? Possibly overthinking the physics aspect of ot all? I'm sure this will bring up lots of interesting comments and opinions [/QUOTE]
