Phil Shoemaker just did such a test useing 220 gr. bullet in the 30-06. The 220 gr. Nosler partition out penetrated them all by a surprising amount...I duplicated those tests after talking to Phil about it..I got the same results.
I also added to his test with the 150 and 180 gr. Barnes bullets: the 200 gr. Swifts: and 200 gr. Woodleighs (ment for 300 Win. etc.) and 220 gr. Woodleighs that I had on hand.
The results were the same as Phils (458 on 24 hr.)the 220 gr. Nolser outdid them all and by a good amount..
I will be shooting the 220 gr. Woodleighs for deer etc, and the 220 Noslers on all the big stuff from elk on up in my Win. M-95 new model Saddle Ring Carbine in 30-06, thus my interest in this subject and my conversations with Phil, a good personal friend and a cornocopia of good information on guns that kill big things....
