Thread: Anyone able to ID this 30cal projectle?

Anyone able to figure out what make of 30 cal projectile this is?

Weighs 220gn.

Looks to be solid copper. About 37.7mm long (without walking to the shed to grab the vernier)

Pulled from a 30-06. Going to rehouse it in a 308.

Possibly A-Square monolithic solid?

Internets for all the answers! I guessed A-Square from dim and dusty memories, then realised I have the internet on the wee screen in front of me. One day I'll keep up with the kids ��

Plastic tip may indicate Norma.

Think you nailed it.

On a similar topic any ideas who brings in Cutting Edge pills?

Wow looks like a thumper, how does it shoot in your 308?
What twist do you have?

Looks like you have the name but it may not stabilize in a normal .308 as 3 fold problem, slower twist in .308Win from 30/06 Govt, less velocity from .308 & Monolithic slug is even longer (protrude into case to fit mag will also cut back on powder room) than normal 220gr, even if stable on paper, may not be on tracking through animal, that's depending on what game you are shooting ?

I took my 30/06 to Africa in the old days & was going to shoot all game from Genet to Elephant with the 220gr slug .

Twist rate is 1:8
Barrel length is 16".

Figure with 2206H I can push them to 2150fps. For fun if nothing else.

The main goal is 180gn solids.
