[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 30370, member: 1007"] dwm is right. The rotation of a bullet also adds to the overall energy of the bullet, not just the forward motion. On the other hand, you cant turn a 30-06 into a 300 ultra mag by turning the bullets faster. Also, these exact topics and calculations are covered in "Understaning firearm ballistics" by Robert Rinker [ 01-10-2004: Message edited by: meichele ] [/QUOTE]
