[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1472593, member: 41338"] I can see how you could get a temperature of a airplane nose in a sustained flight situation but it's gotta be tough getting a reading on a small thing like a bullet tip. These bullet tips aren't all that tough. They almost always deform when using a kinetic bullet puller and frequently deform under recoil in a magazine box (Accubonds). Hornady's new tip may seem like a bunch of marketing hooey but I think they may be onto something. All that said, I'm sort'a liking Sierra's concept of a thick jacket and wider tip for expansion, in theory anyway. I really took note about the flame resistance of the Hornady tips. I gotta wonder why other bullet makers haven't publicly weighted in on that. Thanks to cohunt all that fascinating testing. [/QUOTE]
