[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 170878, member: 1007"] Except for it really does create more temporary cavitation during penetration. This causes more "shock" and tissue damage. It really is the case. Higher than normal RPM's DO create more shock than more ballanced RPM's. Is it worth over spinning your bullets? IMHO, no. I would rather spin them to a 1.5 stability factor and get the best BC I can rather than sacrifice my BC for a slightly better terminal effect. If you doubt this "theory" you can test this against ballistic gelatin. You will see for your self the cavitation difference. In extreeme cases, the bullets will fragment in dramatic fashion uponn impact instead of hold together due to the ultra high RPM's and the centrifical force of the jacket and the effects that has on the jacket during impact.
