Thank you! I'm sure I'll learn something around this campfire -- initially how to listen and talk across it! I hope you have thick skin. Welcome aboard...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

The heating of bullets in flight is hard to study. I must defer to ballisticians with more experience and equipment. But those who've conducted the Doppler trials for Hornady are on to something. As I've mentioned in my articles on the topic, heat build-up becomes consequential when the bullet 1) is going fast enough to generate requisite friction, 2) has a high enough BC to travel at speed for some distance and 3) flies far enough to permit thorough heating. Most bullets/shots don't meet all those requirements. Your question about HP and SP noses is a good one. Without data, I'll hazard that jacket material won't melt at the velocities shown to induce melting in polymer. And while lead will liquefy at lower temps than gilding metal, it's already imperfect in form at the bullet tip. If heat affects its shape, any change would be hard to measure and to replicate in shooting trials. That's my tractor-seat opinion. So does a bullet have to have all three? Or if two of the factors are particularly strong, can the third be discounted? For example, if I shoot an 80gr Barnes out of my 25-06, it beats the MV requirement by quite a bit. But the BC isn't even close. Really it may be an irrelevant question because I don't plan on LR shooting with that load, but it's more for curiousity's sake.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

My wife attended a SCI women's hunter event in Wyoming in 1999 at which Wayne was an instructor. She learned lots from him and thought he was a great instructor. A while later Wayne and his wife stopped by our home in Dundee (their daughter was in college nearby) and we had a great visit. He's a knowledgeable and very practical guy.

That Wayne is a fine addition to the fire and a great writer is certainly true, but it is also true that he is a remarkably good hunter too. I know this because I've hunted with him on the Deseret Ranch. Some years ago years ago, I had a management bull elk permit for the Deseret. My brother was guiding me and we were having trouble finding a decent management bull. In those days a management bull had to be and older 5x5 or 5x6. Wayne was on the ranch and bunking with my bother and me. He told us he'd seen a great 5x5 that would score well. He offered to take us into the drainage where the 5x5 was hanging out. The three of us found the bull the first time the next morning about 8:00am miles from the truck in the very rugged blue fork canyon area. The bull gave us the slip several times but Wayne kept finding him. Finally about 11:00am the bull made a final fatal mistake and I put a 160gr Nosler Partition through his chest. It was an exciting chase, one I will never forget.
