Here is a test of premium bullets done in 2003
www.jegeren.net/tester_kuler.htmI hope you understand the results even if it is in norwegian.Inntrengning means penetration.
Bullets were shot into wet telephone books, with two dry books in the front. A really hard test. Range 15m in "typical" 308win and 300win. mag speed.
The table " N�r ekspansjon stopper" means :When expansion stops. As you can see from the results a Scirocco expands much easier than a Speer Trophy Bonded.
I guess you have heard about most of these bullets except for Tonheim PBP which is a little ,but the only norwegian bullet manufacturer. A very accurat bullet.
I have a few comments to the results. Only one bullet fail, the Remington Core- Lokt Ultra. And i have seen other failures of this bullet in other norwegian tests. Perhaps not a real premium bullet with controlled expansion?
Lapua Naturalis is now a bit softer . Rhino Solid Shank; I think you can get this bullet in different versions. Also softer bullets.
Norma Oryx got a bit low result for retained weight, some years ago 90%+ was the usual result.Perhaps it is a bit softer now?
Sako Super Hammerhead has been improved over the last years and these results are now in the same class as Nosler Accubond.
Except for Core-Lokt Ultra ,no real surprises. And i have to say I'am impressed with the result of the cheapest one; Hornady Interbond.
Points are given for 308win speed.
+ and - comments are only based on the results you can find in the tables with a few exceptions. But if you want to read them i can translate.
The test was in the norwegian magazine Jeger,hund og v�pen nr 9/2003.
