[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 711047, member: 8"] Jacket integrity and structural integrity are a big factors for the heavy for caliber bullets with thin jackets that are spun at high rpms. FMJs that are are at marginal stability (rpm) produce larger wounds than highly stable ones. This has been well documented by the military trauma doctors. The question you inquire about has many different answers that depend upon the initial construction of the bullet. There is an old thread by Buffalorancher that has some intelligent remarks in it and one excessively stupid one near the end. Watching Youtube cartoons when you can't fathom high school geometry has its problems. [/QUOTE]
