[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 1139143, member: 40654"] I've got a suggestion.. How about an inquiry into velocities, riflings and the friction & heat exumed in different degrees per-each, to try understand where limits lie for various jacket types & designs. ie: j-4, sierra, Noslers Gilding metal variants, mono-metals like Barnes etc etc.. Map out where (& if) each or all of those bullets/jacket types top out for heat resistance and reliability to remain in-tact and not fail. I want to see proven, tested information related to a bullet holding it's integrity under the greatest stresses from ignition, to barrel/rifling contact, right through it's entire flight.. how does each handle these stresses in accordance to each competing one(?) And where does each ones limit lay(?) I personally believe Hornady is onto something bigger than even-they realize with their new Tips and what goes on with (them) due to heat... (I-think) heat is playing a bigger role toward failure in those Copper jackets in high-capacity casing/chamberings than anyone realizes. I have personally seen nothing but problems in 5 seperate barrels of various twist types (all) in one-single chambering that just won't reliably shoot jacketed bullets... slow twist, fast twist, 5-R, 3-groove, braked and un-braked.. bullets blow up in every configuration I've tried. All but mono-metal solids (because they can't) ...so yah, perfect subject to study. Map out the limits to see whether there is a way around the materials or designs to (in the future) be able to utilize extreme BC bullets like the 195 Berger (for perfect example) in the highest capacity casings with the BEST type of alloyed jacket material to perform 100% without failure. Period. Figure that out and the limits of long range ballistics can be extended to even greater distances with more ease and better predictability than they do presently. I do believe Hornady are the only ones who have just-barely touched the tip of the iceberg regarding heats and their effect on bullets/design/material and flight-- You guys no-doubt have the resources and brains to further this sort of experimenting and then to record it and capitalize on it.. lets see what you can come up with [/QUOTE]
