Now of course I'm talking standard stuff you buy off the shelf to deer hunt with, like standard for caliber weight bullets that you see all the time at the deer camp, not 125gr .30's at 4000fps or anything.
Im with you. Would be interesting. Would almost have to use the same bullet for each caliber though, ie youd have to use a remington core lokt for all calibers.

That's the exact plan, with the middle of the road weight for all calibers.
The main thing I'm worried about is the bullet jumping out the side of the gel and jacket shedding or just loosing mass in general since it will mess up the results, as well as pieces of gel and shite messing up the crono.
Just something I've always wanted to do. From what I've seen, the belted mags dont to "blow up" a deer any worse than a .30-06 that often, but there's usually a pretty serious difference in a .30-06 and, say, a .243 or .25-06
That's why I think a 150gr .30-06 is around the top end of what you can do to a deer.
