re: Tyler Robinson used regular ole cheap Remington soft point ammo

I've shot many deer with a 30-06 and they all had exit wounds, even through shoulder blades using the same type of bullet.
I'm not weighing in on the conspiracy shite, but anyone shot in the neck with a 30-06 would have an exit wound. IMHO

Cor-Lokt is very good ammo
It is ok. It is old, non-bonded tech. There are much better, more modern bullet designs.

Somebody said in this thread it was cheap unimportant ammo.
WTF? Let’s have a duel at 200 yards with 30-06 Remington Core Locts 150
grain.
I shoot first.
Good Luck
C'mon tough guy.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.
I hunt with that exact round. Have for over 20 years at this point. I can’t think of a single instance where it did not have an exit wound. No matter the game taken down.

I dont know what you find funny about that.
I'm a 57yo from alabama and those are realistic numbers for whitetail.

If you hit the spine from a distance, it's a toss up on exit wound or not

This rebuttal is dumb for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that if Tyler Robinson were indeed working with someone else from some powerful, shady organization (call it the mob, the CIA, MOSSAD, whoever the frick you want to finger), such organizations could easily hold the threat of violence against loved ones over his head for leverage.
If someone is powerful enough to murder a POTUS (CIA with JFK), wouldn't you think they're powerful enough to kill Robinson's family or loved ones if he were to step out of line?
Ahh...we are back to the Government killing CK but didn't kill any other influencer before and hasn't killed anyone else since. Only Charlie was a threat deserving of the CIA and Da Joos activating MK Ultra to assist some twink fricker in his assassination plot, apparently.

Idiot
WWII is probably the greatest case study of 30 caliber rounds in history, and this is what reports say
quote:
Military Statistics and Wound Ballistics Data from conflicts like World War II and Vietnam, where .30-06 was standard in rifles such as the M1 Garand, show that while these rounds often exit, non-exits occur in 15-25% of torso or neck hits when bullets yaw early or fragment upon striking bone
quote:
A U.S. Army report on .30-06 ballistics notes that full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets may exit cleanly if no yaw, but early yaw increases temporary cavitation (up to 30 cm diameter) and fragmentation, leading to retained fragments and no exit in human-sized targets.
LINK
Also, 15-25% is still a broad range from that study, but in your conspiracy theory world, if something happens less than 50% of the time, it happens all the time. That doesn’t give you plausible deniability to insert whatever reality you want.
The odds of not having an exit wound are not the flip side of the odds that CK was killed by an exploding microphone.

One notable historical example is the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., where a .30-06 soft-point bullet from a Remington 760 rifle entered the right jaw, descended into the neck, struck the thoracic vertebrae, fragmented into three pieces, and lodged without producing an exit wound
quote:
It was further determined that King was struck on the right side of his face, about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) away from "below the angle of the mouth." The bullet entered through the right mandible, before it entered King's right pleural cavity, fractured his jawbone, and exited by the right side of the chin. The bullet then re-entered through the base of King's neck, continuing through the right supraclavicular fossa.[40][75] The bullet left a 3-inch wound in King's right cheek, and injured his external jugular vein, vertebral artery, and subclavian artery, before lodging itself near the back of the left scapula

People thinking a 30-06 Core Lokt couldn't penetrate all the way through a skull don't know what they're talking about. He wasn't shooting big game.

The question isn’t “could it?”
The question is “did it?”

You're comparing fmj to expanding ammo. They are not the same.

I agree.

Which makes those numbers even more damning because FMJ is more likely to leave an exit wound and significantly less likely to fracture than a soft point bullet, which is why the Hague Convention banned them for war for humanitarian reasons.

Anyone that shoots a 30-06 should never ever make fun of anyone that shoots a 6.5 creedmoore ever again.
I have shot a 30.06 for 40 years in a Remington bolt. Never let me down. Misses were on me.

Yes and no. While fmj will retain shape and pass through without as much damage, expanding ammo like core lokt are designed to expand and retain most all of its weight while doing it without fragmentation.

I also wish these southern hunters would tell us the range at which they shot their game. Average shot on game in the southeast is between 50 and 70 yards.

Don't forget all of the ballistics experts here on TD.com who told us they shot 3 deer over their life with a 30-06 and there was barely any meat left on the bones.
If late in the evening, and I need some meat and don't feel like trailing in the dark, I'll shoot a doe in the neck. It will either drop where she's shot or you get a clean miss with no injury to the animal. Never once have not had a through and through shot in the neck.

Cool
That anecdotal story has zero bearing on data or the autopsy reports from CK's assassination, where they removed the fragmented bullet and were able to track its path after deflection.
