I don't know what we were spinning them at accurately but it was faster than 6000. The problem wasn't that the expansion was affecting the shots, its that I wasn't comfortable safety wise with the expansion. We were also using 2in roller over a 1.5 aluminum tube, so maybe the smaller diameter doesn't expand as much was we saw with the large.
