[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1767910, member: 38048"] My theory on this is that those light bullets in faster than needed twist barrels are almost ready to pop in the air. The energy in the gravitational out ward force of the jacket is massive because of the spin rate. They are travelling really fast. And they just totally up and explode when hitting a critter. These types of loads seldom exit for me on ground hogs. Yet with a 55 grain b-tip at 3900 in my 22-250ai does on body hits some times. Its why I personally think but can't prove why the 6.5. 8 twist rifles kill deer with 123 amaxs and 120 bt nosler and all the 130 class bullets so dang fast. I mean spectacularly fast. And the 140 and 150 class bullets kill like a 270 or 06. I hear ya guys now thinking section density is really high on heavy 6.5 bullets and that's part of it to. That sectional density of 250 to 265 range in all the bullets seem to kill super fast. But these are really the mid range bullets like 30 cal 150 or 130 270cal the mighty 140 in a 7mag. Seems once we step up to the long range high section density bullets that explosively goes away. What you guys think? Shep [/QUOTE]
