[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1323726, member: 17844"] The reality is the risk for fire is far greater from the shooters who smoke cigarettes and flick them all over the place still alight than from any normal hunting bullet they may shoot . I live in a place where bush fires are a way of life and in my 67 years I have never ever heard of one single bush fire being started by a normal rifle bullet hitting anything . Fires starting from arson is a million times more likely . Fires starting from cigarettes many times more likely . Lightning strikes more likely . Do an experiment get a 1000 rounds of full metal jacket and slam away at the steel target from a safe distance . I bet you don't start any fire. We have rifle ranges in state forests , national parks and all kinds of bush areas but the grass is kept short and the scrub cleared back in 45 years of going to ranges I have never seen a fire started by a normal hunting bullet . Military tracer bullets is the only time I have seen two fires started they are bad . [/QUOTE]
