Molten Lead & Jacket Separation

[7Rum Slayer]

I can provide photos to prove molten lead and show the results after bullet impact.

Curious I am.

Bullets stopped melting in flight after Hornady created the "Heat Shield Tip"...

Please give me a day or so to recover from a 33 hour transit from overseas to Colorado (I wrote the initial post from an airport) . I have the photos but need a day or so to collect ballistics and other data. Thanks for your patience.

not going to happen. The lead is locked into the jacket as soon as it enters into the rifling. Each land is like a cannelure and locks the lead.

I had a post a couple years ago showing a 85.5 grain Berger out of a 22 creedmoor that shed the jacket about 50 yards from the barrel and the lead was recovered in the bed of a ford pickup that was setting off the dead end road we were shooting on it looked like a banana but was still intact definitely not melted.
