Jeffrey Ponting: It’s always best to hide behind a big stack of telephone books. Two will be sufficient for 22 cal, but 6 or 8 for 30 cal, but they’re very difficult to find these days and awkward to carry to the supermarket where you’re most likely to get shot.

At the Springfield Armory Museum there's an eye-opening display about the M1's penetration capability vs the M14, through hardwood.

What the hell is WRONG with you people??? Seriously, why would you talk crap about this guy's video? He wanted to see what these three very common, very popular hunting cartridges would do to 3 cast iron skillets. So he set them up and shot them! Period. End of story. He's not trying to win a Nobel prize for physics. He's not running for political office. He's not submitting his video for "Video of the Year." He's not developing his own wildcat cartridge. He's not trying to sell his guns to you. He's just shooting skillets to see what happens. Damn. Few things are more worthless than self-appointed KZbin critics.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@jakemitchell1671]

You're welcome WHO_TEE_WHO. I LIKE your video, and I really don't know why ANYONE would have a problem with it. It's not a super sophisticated "test" or anything. It doesn't really teach us a whole lot about the ballistics involved. But...who cares??? Shooting guns if fun, and watching someone shoot guns is fun! And that's enough. I've always wanted to line up a bunch of car batteries and see how many a rifle cartridge will penetrate.

[@westtexan2263]

When it came out it was considered a fast round and was for the times. Men used against bear, moose, elk etc. because they were accustomed to getting close to game anyway it did the job. Now people want to see how far away they can shoot an animal and probably wound more than they kill. But they don't show those on TV and KZbin. I've had guys tell me that the 30-30 is only good for 100 yards on whitetails but I've yet to have one take me up on going out to 200 yards and bend over to see if I can make that shot. I've owned and shot all kinds of calibers because I like guns of all sorts. But I still make time for 1950's model 336R that was my first deer rifle handed down from my dad.

Great practical information. Real world trumps a gun book write up any day. Thanks very much for the effort and presentation. I’ve been shooting for over 50 years and appreciate the practical demonstration. The ‘06 even demonstrated improved expansion as would be expected.

[@diverbob8]

I bought a 30-30 thinking that it was significantly less powerful than a .308. After firing it (and seeing this video) I have concluded that there is less difference than previously thought.

[@jimparker7778]

Some of the factory 3030 loads today are punchy! They are approaching 300 Savage performance.

[@willybee3056]

Something that testers normally don't cover, is the effect of projectile construction. A harder , thicker jacketed slug of the same weight traveling slower will penetrate farther, that a softer slug that is designed to fragment that is going at a higher speed. So with that in mind, one needs to pick the right tool for the job. I was able to reload my 30-06 with a Speer 110 gr half jacketed hollow point. With 4 grs of imr 7625, and a half sheet of tp to hold the powder against the primer... It would only go through one side of an empty 55 gallon drum.. But it worked well on squirrels.

[@davidzimmerman3778]

30-06 is king! We used it in WWII. Became a classic hunting round when our troops came home

[@adamcuneo7189]

@David Zimmerman, The .30-06 was already a classic hunting round right after WWI even, that was the reason why the .300 Savage was created in 1920, for basically the same idea why the .308 was created, to get .30-06 ballistics out of a shorter case.

[@MG.50]

I was surprised at the performance of the .30-30. The old classic deer hunting round turned in a better performance than I expected. It was worth watching just to learn that. The skillets stood up better than I expected, too. I personally would have used new skillets for each test to eliminate any changes in metal characteristics due to shock, microfractures, etc. But that's due to hanging around in engineering facilities for over 30 years. This was probably NOT the case, given the consistency of penetration and hole size/shape for all rounds. I love my .308, but I may have to get another .30-30, partly for old times sake and partly because of this video. I do wonder about the distance to target, though. THANKS for a fun and enlightening video ! ! !

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching! Always fun shooting a lever gun

[@fiveowaf454]

While it was all in good fun and I found it an entertaining video, you'd need to have more skillets to compare the ultimate performance of how much cast iron it takes to stop each bullet. Otherwise it's a bit like shooting a paper target and noticing the holes are all about the same size.

[@pablodescartes1898]

MG50 right & lever guns are just cool if a fan of Louis L'Amour & old westerns.

[@BillGatliff]

Cast iron is an amorphous material, so even within one skillet you'll find nonuniformities. Staying near the edges was a good call on his part, the extra material there probably reduced the overall damage. Blowing out the entire center of the back skillet would have been a fun way to end the video, though...

[@NC-xk1eg]

Those self-healing targets are wild! Thanks for this unique test of a new target material.

[@stevewelding828]

Cool vid, the beauty of the 06 is being able to load up some higher grain bullets and increased case capacity. Buffalo Bore loads up to damn near to 300WSM maybe even 300WM power in a 30-06. One of the most versatile rifle rounds in the world, maybe just rouds period (next to 357 Mag and 12 ga.)

[@jonneet2126]

Cool video! The 30-30 acquitted itself very well among the two more powerful calibers. Used to shoot IHMSA 200 meter handgun matches with a TC Contender in 30-30. It's a very potent calibdr in a handgun, and I came up with a very accurate handload. Easy to reload too.

[@jpb1801]

A Hertzian cone is the cone produced when an object passes through a solid, such as a bullet through glass. More technically, it is a cone of force that propagates through a brittle, amorphous or cryptocrystalline solid material from a point of impact. This force eventually removes a full or partial cone in the material.

I've had a Marlin 336-a (24 inch barrel, PG stock, 2/3 magazine) for about 45 years. I've had other rifles as well, but that Marlin was the most user-friendly, very quick to get in action rifle I've ever had. Surprisingly accurate too. I used to practice shooting at 10 inch paper plates 300 yards (measured) away. I could get every shot in the magazine in a 7 to 8 inch circle at that range. I had replaced the rear sight with a Marble's Full Buckhorn one, which would be now considered a sort of "ghost ring" sight. I used Remington 170 grain Core-Loct ammunition, as it was the most accurate I ever found.

[@bigbigbigbigbird]

Enjoyed this video, would have liked to see him use the same brand of bullets for all 3 riffles. I think a Remington Corelock is a better bullet than a Winchester super x

[@scottf.3808]

Very similar results with all 3 as I would have guessed much more expansion with the 30.06 but just me....There was more damage but nothing crazy....Good testing as you are going to need more Cast Iron pans on your next camping trip or hunting expedition now.....LOL....Good stuff....

[@Rhaspun]

I was thinking of Clint Eastwood in one of his Spaghetti Western movies.

[@wookieiam1]

Would those holes be as large if the skillets were further apart?.... The reason I am asking is because I think the slug is pushing iron from one skillet to the next....

[@NoobNoobNews]

Yes, they would be as large. You see, the velocity of the bullet has everything to do with the size of the holes. The faster the bullet moves, the smaller the hole is. In the first pan, the hole is small because the bullet moves faster than the shock wave the bullet creates because the shockwave is the speed of sound, and the bullet is flying super-sonic. This means only a small amount of energy is lost in the first penetration. The bullet is traveling slower, though. Probably sub-sonic at this point. This means that the energy is traveling at about the speed of sound, and takes longer to exit the second pan, meaning more energy from the bullet goes into the pan. By the time it goes into the third pan, the bullet is traveling very slowly. In short, the slower the bullet travels, the more energy is lost in the form of kinetic soundwaves rippling through the metal of the pan. Fast bullets only touch the pan for a short time, leaving a small hole from the small amount of energy lost. The third pan has the biggest hole because the bullet is traveling slowly and stays in contact with the pan for a longer time. An example of this type of concept can be seen in bullets hitting metal plates. Slower bullets leave large dents when they do not penetrate a sheet of steel, but very fast bullets poke holes with no dents in the metal. Another example is the entry and exit wounds on soft material. The bullet dumps energy as it slows down into the surrounding tissue, which gets spread out over a wider and wider area. If it is allowed to exit the other side, it usually leaves behind a larger hole than when it entered. This whole post describes a concept that is usually restricted to super-sonic projectiles. Sub-sonic projectiles tend to act differently.

[@grahampalmer9337]

Well I guess it would be hard to argue against noon noob's prognosis. It sounds pretty plausible to me. The missing centre pan material for the -06 I suspect is because it is near to the damage done by the .308, & that damage had cracked out around the .308 hole weakening the pan.

[@catg7855]

I think it would be interesting to see if there would be enough stability in the the skillets after the first was hit due to the force of the impact on each subsequent skillet. I would think the force of the impact would spin the skillet and cause each subsequent hit to be off course.

[@brokenwave6125]

That makes no sense. Its not "pushing" anything because there isn't anything to push. Its blasting it to dust. Cast iron is very brittle. Its just shattering to bits. There is nothing pushing anything.

[@wookieiam1]

@@brokenwave6125 I was just asking

[@utubetommy]

The shape of the 30-30 round (more rounded and snub nosed) would flatten out more on impact, giving the larger entry hole on the front skillet. Also, the round was placed further away from the contour of the bottom of the pan. The round was also more centrally-located relative to the center of the handles which the pans were suspended from, giving a more uniform and concentric entry and exit from first to last pan. Both the .308 and 30-06 rounds were not placed as central to the suspension point so there was a twisting action of the pans on impact of the rounds as they traveled through one pan into the next. Also, being too close to the bottom/side edge of the pan would also have an effect on the outcome. At any rate, it shows the .308 & 30-06 are very similar in the effect they have not just on cast iron skillets but in use in the field or on the battlefield.

[@danbuilt]

danbuilt I was shocked when sighting in my 30-30 and 308 pre deer season. We used empty 1 pound propane tanks, the 308 left a clean hole in & out of the cans the size of the round but the 30-30 blew a hole the size of an egg going in and small shrapnel holes on the back sides. It solved the mystery of last years deer having a bigger inlet hole than the outlet hole. Picture 4 guys drinking beer in the garage arguing with you on what side you shot your deer from.

Very wrong on the 150 yards and the 30/30. Fake News

New cast iron usually has a coating of oil to prevent rusting this is probably what caused the smoke

And the .308 and 30-06 provide more kinetic energy to the target. If metal, you will get sparks or more sparks from the extra KE.

Had always wanted a 30-30 but Pop told me the 30-06 was more versatile with bullet grains and load. He also told me, in his opinion, the 30-30 was basically a deer rifle for short ranges - whereas the 30-06 was good for more than 300 yards. Can testify the I've shot mulies at the 350 yard range with dead-on accuracy. Thanks for the video. Gave me a representation of the 30-30 vs 30-06 was like. Now if you had a larger mass comparison to show knock-down power, am guessing the 30-30 would be lacking in that department in comparison to the 30-06. ;)

[@jasongreen5159]

Nice comment, I'm a 30 30 man my self just for the opposite reason I shoot in brush at close range at multiple targets on foot. I would take 30 06 for anything at long open range

There is no rifle to compare to the 30-06 for flexibility. You can go to Walmart (in the US) and buy more different bullet weights for the 30-06 than any other caliber.....from 120 gn up

That is true

[@sartainja]

Once upon a time, I deer hunted with a old fellow we called the “Toothless Wonder” or aka “TW.” He did not have any teeth in his head and he was crossed eye until Medicare fixed his sight when he was in his seventh decade. In the mean time, ole TW hunted with a lever action 30-30 with a box of cartridges that dated to middle of the 1960’s. I do not know how old the rifle was. Never ask him about it. TW would only load one round of ammunition in his rifle at a time. He would carry the round that he was going to hunt with that year in his pocket during October to have it shined by opening day in November. When you heard him shoot, there was meat on the ground ~ preference being a young tender doe. Ole TW was the inventor of “one shot / one kill” long before some hotshot thought it up.

When I was in High School during an Elk hunt I witnessed a fellow with a old octagon barreled Model 94 30-30 dump a big bull Elk at a dead run with about a 50 yard head shot! Myself and the other 2 hunters never even got a shot off with our "modern" scoped high powered rifles! It was obvious that guy knew that gun! So a couple of years later I bought my own Model 94 30-30. In the ensuing years that gun reliably took Mule Deer, Pronghorn and Elk! Very accurate and effective out to 200 yards. A few Pronghorn beyond that! I made a point of learning that gun so that I know it as well as that fellow did his! It is still my "Go to" rifle 60 years later. The thing that I have always admired about it is when I shoulder it and lay my cheek against the stock both front and rear sights are perfectly aligned with my eye! Have no idea if that happens with anyone else! In short, anyone who believes the 30-30 is outdated is kidding himself!

[@evanroberts2771]

? I'm Australian, i don't really have a dog in the fight. I took the OP's statement as an 'anti China' remark. Not many seem to realize that the ONLY reason the US became great, was WW2. Having the manufacturing capabilities to basically 'war profiteer' off the world after WW2 because Europe's manufacturing capabilities were destroyed, and they were paying back Lend-Lease loans to the US. The US's golden years were at the expense of a LOT of the world. And Trump has the gall to chastise Europe for treating the US unfairly in trade. Europe REMEMBERS what pretty much amounted to US extortion after WW2. Too many US citizens either don't know, or try to erase the sins of the past. Or just plain expect other countries to 'cop it in the ass and like it' 'cause we'z da Americans!!! Greatest exploiters in the world!!!

[@kbcinmedusn]

Remember when choosing a gun caliber, the size of the exit wound is what counts.

[@pugetsoundknappers4234]

Actually shot placement is what counts. I've witnessed 2,000 lb Hereford Bulls dispatched with a .22 short on several occasions.

[@kbcinmedusn]

@@pugetsoundknappers4234 but for stopping power in a last resort self-defense against imminent danger, it's the size of the exit wound that matters more.

[@rayray8687]

Puget Sound Knappers: Who hunts Hereford bulls? Aren’t they domestic cattle?

[@pugetsoundknappers4234]

@@rayray8687 Yep, they are indeed domestic cattle. At some point in their lives they are slaughtered for their meat. Both of the Hereford bulls (and one steer) where slaughtered by professionals using .22 shorts. They used them because 1) they were extremely effective 2) they were in relatively close proximity to houses (subdivisions) and 3) very inexpensive. The point I was making was that a well-place shot with a very small caliber round is quite effective, more so that an ill-place shot of a large caliber. I'm a lifelong hunter - modern firearm, black powder and archery. And I'm a former Marine Officer and WDFW Chief Hunter Safety Instructor. When asked what the 'best caliber' is for big game in North America my response is and always will be "the largest caliber you can shoot comfortably and ACCURATELY". I've personally know hunters who consistently took large mule deer with one shot from a .22-250 in a state where .22 centerfires are legal. I've know other hunter who used .257 Roberts, .270 and other sub .30 caliber rounds to take elk and bear. And part of Hunter Safety Instruction is hunting 'ethics'. And part of hunting ethics is humanely dispatching the game - one shot, one kill. Big game have a remarkable ability to absorb ill-placed shots, large exit hole or not. I will take a well placed .223 round long before I would an ill-placed .338 round. Outside of the Military I've found few people who can shoot the larger calibers as consistently and accurately as they can a smaller caliber. And still others who opt for larger calibers to compensate for lack of accuracy due to insufficient practice. There are definitely exceptions, but in my experience, they are exceptions. ps 12 gauge double-ought buckshot doesn't leave an large exit hole unless it is a contact shot, but its stopping power inside 30 ft is considerable!

[@rayray8687]

Puget Sound Knappers: I wouldn’t argue with you on any of that but I will say that shooting a bovine in the head at contact distance doesn’t really qualify as a good choice for hunting large animals. Also I honestly thought that everyone today used a spike gun but obviously not. When I was much younger living in an area of small farms, the animal’s head was smashed in with a sledgehammer and it’s throat cut immediately. Very quick kill. I’ve fired a 30-06, 303, 308, 22, .17, BB gun, pop gun, 12 gauge buckshot (knocked me on my ass at age 15), Lee-Enfield Mk1 and a beautiful old ‘94 Winchester 30-30. If I had my druthers I’d choose that Winchester bush gun over all the others any day. But then, as you’ve suggested, you need to learn how to shoot. Caliber is something, but placement is everything. I had it pounded into my head before I was ever allowed to touch a gun that we didn’t hunt to hang elephant heads on our wall, we hunted to use what we killed. I no longer hunt but I’m very glad to hear that you and most others are ethical and responsible hunters.

[@alsoran1a]

Years and years ago, early to mid 60s, most of deer hunting friends had 30-30s, if you were lucky enough to be able to afford to buy a 30.06, you were kinda elite and really prized the rifle. In gun case and in sight for all to see. Not that the 30-30 was shabby by any standards. They were more prominent in area I lived in. We didn't bother the gun case and didn't jack with any firearms in them. You could open up case and admire the rifles, but only if adult was present could you hold and shoulder them. We would get beat if those rules weren't followed. Time out was the end of a belt.
