[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2277531, member: 10284"] Ok if the lead melted while it was being pushed down the barrel, and the nose of the FMJ wouldn't allow the liquid past it, wouldn't the liquid squirt out the rear from the pressure? If you took that glass of water and blew a air hose at the opening, no matter what position it was in, would the water stay in the glass? And yes I have found plenty of jackets with no core.....it's called core separation. It happens more with non bonded boat tailed bullets without a cannelure as opposed to flat base bullets. That's the reason Hornady did the interlock and others do the bonded bullets. [/QUOTE]
