[QUOTE="Professor Doolittle, post: 2277374, member: 118902"] That's interesting, I didn't know hunters find copper jacketing with missing lead. If the tail was exposed lead and the lead melted I don't see why you would expect it to drain out in flight. Its being pushed from behind as it leaves the barrel so all lead and copper atoms have the same velocity, doesn't matter if its liquid, the bullet is falling the instant it leaves the barrel and all atoms in the bullet are falling at the same speed. If you could drop a glass of water upside down the water wouldn't come out because the glass is falling just as fast as the water is. The moment it leaves your barrel the bullet is falling. [/QUOTE]
