[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2635373, member: 94556"] It is a different story when the bullet arrives at 1700 fps from full muzzle velocity. The barrel twist was not specified. The bullet under these conditions is spinning almost 1.75x as fast (approximately 93,000 more RPM) and is actually what happens in a hunting situation. The increased rotational velocity ejects the tip sooner. This Elk was taken with a 300WM at 1225 yds with a muzzle velocity of 2980 fps. Impact velocity was estimated at 1760 fps[ATTACH type="full"]399802[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]399801[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
