[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 1539035, member: 9705"] I'll answer that, no. That was easy. The energy involved in the spinning of the bullet is nearly nothing compared to the energy of forward motion. So even if all the spin energy is imparted to the animal it's nothing. The other aspect is that 250,000 rpm sounds like a buzz saw that would grind up anything. But for even a 7 twist after the bullet has slowed down some it's only one turn in maybe 5 inches of forward motion. The bullet rotates maybe 5-10 times inside the animal. Do you think 5-10 rotations of a 140 gn bullet will cause much damage? I don't. [/QUOTE]
