[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 168621, member: 1007"] Typically yes due to the extra cytrifical force that creates more of a shock wave therefore more temporary cavitation during the bullet's penetration. Over spinning a bullet brings other issues up though such as a reduced BC and the faster you over spin them, the more BC you will loose. Excessivly low RPMs on the flip side can give you a BC loss as well albiet the BC loss is caused by factors different than that of an overspun bullet though. For overall "in flight" ballistic performance you dont want your stability too great or riding the edge either. But yes, faster RPMs tend to cause more trauma in game. [/QUOTE]
