The 30-338 Weatherby was developed just to see how fast a bullet could be pushed. During testing with about 90 grain bullets the projectile was observed disintegrating close to the muzzle when velocities got around 5800 FPS. I don't recall if anyone determined if the bullets "melted" or simply spun apart under centripetal forces. Maybe we ought to wrap a crat in lead and lauch it at over 6000 fps and see if the lead melts.

I think he needs to quit shooting by the nuclear power plant,And change his brand of smokes,,Clay www.whitehotlead.com

OEH, if it didn't would the lead contaminate the leftovers? Helluva idea though, give you that. Maybe you know some engineering students looking for a thesis?

DD. I dont think Big Al would just spit out the lead like spittin shot out of a duck

With the ar-15's and the high twist barrels for the heavy .22 bullets,,,Hornady put a warning in the .223 listing,,not to use thier sx class bullets in these rifles,,,They apparently fly apart upon exit of the barrel.Clay www.skinnyjackets.com
