Ballistics question

Are they the same bullet( i.e. Nosler partition, core-lokt)

store bought? velocity?

This is very important. Different bullets will penetrate differently through various weights, calibers, and velocity.

But I've found the most consistent to be Barnes TTSX though. Since it is a single-piece design with no lead core, the expansion is very consistent, the long bullet aids in stabilization, and there is no jacket separation. All this leads to good energy transfer and a high possibility of an exit wound.

for the 30-06, is the ammo soft point, pointed soft point or pointed soft point ultra?
the above all have same velocity (2700fps)

for the .280 i only find PSPCL in 150gr with a velocity of 2890fps

Thanks. Both are core lokt. I've shot 10 bucks with the 30-06 and every one dropped. 2 bucks so far with 280 and bullet didn't exit and deer left no blood trail. This evening will be my last hunt with the 280

And that reason right there is why I love the 30-06. Mine is a death dealing machine.

cor-lokt is bonding process for jacket and lead.
the real diff will be if 30-06 is a soft point(SP) or pointed soft point(PSP). the SP is designed with a heavier jacket, so you will get better terminal performance with it inside 250yds. the PSP is designed for better long range terminal performance.
the difference between close and long range is velocity. the lighter jacketed PSP will perform like it should at long range(less velocity), it will tend fragment at close range(higher velocity) and not get desired penetration.

you should try the 165grSPCL for the 280

Nothing wrong with my shot placement

Thanks. Didn't know there were different tipped core lokt. The 280 is PSP.

speaking of bullets, has anyone seen these multiple impact bullets?

I have seen that.

I want to see some more testing on it to see how it performs because I'm not entirely sold. There's always a new latest and greatest and we still go back to old technology that works. We'll see how it pans out.
