Solids ballistics in 30-06 A-square

[banditt007]

I was cruising through some online ammo stores and stumbled upon some A-square ammo. a monolithic solid 180 grain loaded into the 30-06. i was wondering what other companies if any load these. and what is the availability of non expanding very hard bullets that fit in the 30-06.

I'd also like to know if anyone has any on game or ballistics gel data for the penetration of such rounds. even wet pack newspaper tests ect.

....Not planning on going to africa haha just out of curiosity.

I can think of no legal sporting use for monolithic solid 30 caliber in Africa, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one. Definitely useful in North America, Australia or Asia for buffalo, and alligator/crocodile.

Would be a fine barrier penetration round for police marksmen though. Would have done better than the 168gr SMK at the "Good Guys" incident.
