30-06 bullet test for 220 grains and 200 grains

[65cutlass]

I have some Sierra 220 gr Pro-Hunter

 

[65cutlass]

I am interested in seeing the Woodliegh 240 gr. 30 cal bullet in this test. I don't have any, but have wanted to get some.

I have 200 A-Frames if you need them. Dave.

 

[Mik123]

I have 200/220 grain Partitions and 200 grain Accubonds.

I think Speer makes a 200 grain hot cor and maybe a grand slam but I haven't been able to find any.

This is a recovered 200gr Nosler accubond shot out of a Tikka 300 win mag at 2840fps from our spring bear group hunt. Broad side shot at 200yards, bullet stopped on the offside shoulder of a big black bear. Bear made it 10 yards before expiring. I didn't get a chance to weigh the bullet but i would guess it to be in the 70% percent range give or take.

hope i will get a better chance to recover an accubond in .30 than with the .366 ...

Given the already-mentioned:

200 gr.
Woodleigh
Nosler Accu-Bond
Nosler Partition
Speer (yellow box)
Swift A-Frame


210 gr.
Berger


220 gr.
Hornady RN-IL
Remington Core-lockt
Federal blue box

I can only add:
200 gr. Barnes Originals
220 gr. Hornady FMJRN (the old-time solids)
220 gr. Norma Soft-Point Round-Nose Boattail
220 gr. SAKO RNSP

to the test, if that would help.

OK, Where do I send these A-Frames? Dave.

WoW that accubond did a good job!! I have some 200 loaded for my 8x57 that I hope to try on a spring bear and a fall moose!

[medvedqc]

I think i have some heavier 30's. Was going to try them in the 30-338 I decided to build. But ill look, maybe I have extras. I think im down to three 30-06 rifles, a Garand, a savage in 30-06 Improved and an old Rem. I dont shoot them much, too many other cartridges to play with. - dan

I'm waiting to hear how that 240 grainer works out. Never heard of anyone using that bullet weight in a 30-06 before this thread.
