[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 248529, member: 1007"] You are correct. This "more physical damage" is caused by the extra cavitation inside the animal from the added rotational force. How much more will it help in killing power? It cant hurt but I personaly dont rely on it. I and most should rely on reliable expansion which will happen at the manufacturers recomended velocity levels regardless of over spinning or not. It is this expansion that is resposible for MOST of the "killing power". An animal can live quite some time after being hit with a FMJ regardless of the amount of cavitation caused by the bullet. The wound channel is still too dang small. I for one would much rather spin a bullet at its 1.5 factor and have the max amount of BC and accuracy to get it to the animal in the first place. [/QUOTE]
