[QUOTE="Escopeta, post: 1610450, member: 96884"] When you consider that research report I linked to and combine it with my anecdotal personal experience with witnessing solid copper bullets and steel targets, the answer is yes - they are that bad. Up close, in broad daylight you can see sparks fly off targets and spray the surrounding area. For many years, the majority of times you heard about a fire getting started by a recreational shooter, it was almost always someone shooting old steel ball ammo at rocks. Nowadays, most of the times its some idiot shooting tannerite on a hot day among material that looks like a forest fire waiting to happen. But I think we are going to see this more and more with solid copper bullets starting to come into favor and states like the PRK mandating them. If it hasn't happened already, I fear we will see a rise in shooting-related fire starts and copper bullets. [/QUOTE]
