In this video we’re going to test and review Remington Corelokt 220 grain 30-06 Springfield hunting ammo, shooting into 10% ballistics gel from [ Ссылка ] that has been calibrated to meet the FBI ballistics testing protocol.
The test rifle is a Tikka T3x Superlite Stainless 30-06 with a 22.4” barrel and a Leupold VX3HD 4.5-14x40 scope.
While ballistics gel isn’t an exact proxy for big game, it does provide a repeatable medium through which to test various bullets and ammunitions against each other.
With each type of ammo tested I collect data on bullet penetration depth, bullet weight retention, bullet expansion and muzzle velocity.
For reference, bullet expansion is measured at the widest expanded point using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Caliper.
Bullet weight is measured using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Scale after having removed as much ballistics gel as possible from the expanded bullets. Bullet velocity is measured using a ProChronoPal chronograph set approximately 10-15’ from the shooting bench.
My goal with these ballistics gel tests is to provide hunters like you and I with the most objective information possible to help us make the best choice for our particular hunting situation.
The results of these tests are my own and I cannot guarantee the same or similar performance on your part. The views and opinions expressed in this video are solely my own.
This video was filmed on a private range with all applicable safety precautions.
