[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 711076, member: 13833"] I suspect the marginal spin produces more trauma because the bullets are more apt to tumble. Unexpanded bullets also seem to tumble more. I I have found SMK's are worse than VLDs for not expanding, which also causes worse tumbling and banana bullets. This happens nearly everytime when a SMK doesn't expand. I believe this is caused by the greater angle ogive not allowing expansion to start as easily. Also, it would not surprise me at all if the Bergers which are causing larger exit holes at low velocity are the result of tumbling rather than expansion. Obviously, there is no proof on my part because the bullets are not recovered........Rich [/QUOTE]
