[QUOTE="jasent, post: 2526517, member: 28233"] That’s greatly dependent on bullet construction Take my 210gr vld load for example. This is a bullet with a fragmenting rep. In my rifle it’s spinning 274,500 rpm yet on a whitetail I still get a exit from 100 yards to 650. Imo the type of rifling and quality of jacket material and thickness of said jacket and how the rifling engraved the bullet has more of affect on the poof than rpm. Poor jacket consistency with high rpm ya get the poof or explosive varmint stuff. Like I said before I “over spin” everything I shoot. With Berger’s and few hornady bullets I’ve shot no poof. No explosion on surface shots on big game. [/QUOTE]
