[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2591219, member: 95344"] When dealing with Dr Fackler my contention is much of his writings are taken out of context. For our purposes here as hunters some might look at his writings of not believing in a an "energy dump". Those beliefs were towards FMJ M16 and AK47 rounds when yaw wasn't present. He also discounted the degree of yaw both in external and terminal ballistics. His caveat was with barrels with proper twist rates. Well we know that twist rates will affect bullet stability with both external and some argued that it affects terminal ballistics. My belief is it will affect both. Dr Fackler also recognized that when fragmentation was present with M16 round the terminal trauma was [ATTACH type="full"]384624[/ATTACH] That screen shot was taken from his report "What's Wrong With Wound Ballistics Literature, And Why". ([URL]https://www.rkba.org/research/fackler/wrong.pdf[/URL]". I'd argue that we use bullets that are designed to fragment to one degree or another thus creating more energy transfer or trauma. It's not apples to apples comparison. [/QUOTE]
