P95,
It was a lab test so I thinking it was a few feet at most. So I'm thinking when we are talking 267 degrees that is how hot the bullet is near the start of its flight.
The thing I really wonder about is "how much does the thing cool off in flight".
Assuming large caliber bullets have more mass they would cool more slowly than small ones, however but the thing is in flight such a short time, it can't cool much.
After all, being bullets one would think all the suff that makes them ballistically efficient and reduces drag also keeps the air from being a real wonderful heat sink.
Not being an engineer makes my head hurt to think about this stuff!
