[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2938581, member: 313"] Bullets coming apart in flight is not the same as bullet diameter burning off due to air friction. Lead, jacketed, and monos do not burn down to smaller diameters because of air friction. I've yet to find a molten mass in the dirt berm at any club I've ever shot at, and I've recovered a lot of bullets just because of my curious nature. Almost every bullet manufacturer makes some bullets with plastic ballistic tips of one flavor or another. Those tips would burn away mid-flight long before the bullets themselves would burn away, if air friction was that big of an issue. Lots of guys have recovered the tips, themselves, in fine shape. If I'm wrong about this, I'd be interested in seeing the evidence. [/QUOTE]
