[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1152029, member: 4191"] Apply the heat to the butt-end of a plastic tip with your soldering iron and then time how long it takes to increase the temperature of leading edge of the plastic tip until you can deform the frontal face of the plastic tip. Then compare that length of time to the time of flight of the bullet for your very longest shots on game. All the other sources of heat transfer by conduction from the body of the bullet to the frontal face of the plastic tips play no role on the BC degradation of the former plastic tips when fired at high MV.
