Sounds like a guy I was working with telling me all about the 950 yard running head shot he made on a moose with his Parker hale “3 hunnert mag” topped with a 4x tascolol
Last week this guy was telling me how he shot 800 meters with an open sight 303, hit just a hair low on a pretty small target with the sights adjusted to 350M
I asked him where's it hit at 350 with the sights set for 350?
"bang on"
That's a flat shootin' 303

Another guy telling me he held top of the back on a bull moose with 7mm Rem Mag, put one right through the boiler room. His dad paced off the shot at it was 1200 yards.

Nope, back in the day when the companies first started using the plastic tips, they stated the tips melted off, just like the lead tips.
I don't shop Cabela's. Sounds like you frequent the place.
A bonafide reason for deformed bullet tips...

Pretty sure the only one company that claimed deformed polymer tips was Hornady...They came late to the game of tipped bullets...Nosler was selling a sh!t ton of Ballistic tips for many years before Hornady decided to also join the tipped market.
They needed a leg up to try and catch the competition and with their aggressive marketing department and I'm sure more than a few bourbons came up with their "Heat shield" technology.
If you study Hornady products and their PR of such you will find they have a few other "It's rocket science" moments as well...HA !
As for lead tips melting on high velocity long shots no way...Google it.
