- 6.8 Western vs 30-06: Did Not Expect This. In this video we compare our Browning 6.8 Western with the tried and true 30-06 from 1906 to see which copper bullet penetrates barriers - sand and steel better! #hunting #deerhunting #precisionrifle

Thanks for dropping in! Be sure to check out this comparison too czcams.com/video/4QLYqdNEZCA/video.html
The 6.8 Western is a great round but that model 70 is a lot better looking with some nice wood on it. Both will get the job done. Good comparison. 👍🙏
Agreed
Wow, very interesting results !! Thanks for the video !!
Glad you liked it!
Wow that's not what I thought would happen. Thank you for the info.,🙏❤️💪
Me either love the 6.8 Western… she is a beast
That's impressive. Especially since the 30-06 Springfield round that hit the mild steel was clocked in at over 3000 feet per second. I know that with a 26 inch barrel you can get over 3000 feet per second from Winchester 6.8 Western factory ammo but these 6.8 Western rounds stayed under 3000 feet per second. I think there will be more brass and factory loads available for 6.8 Western if and when the 277 Fury becomes available (in a 70K psi version), and possibly becomes a popular caliber.
I am def going to re-test with lead bullets... be interesting to see the speeds out of those! no doubt hoping the 6.8 Western doesnt die off!!
That got me THINKING NOW!

Good vid mate, subbed cheers Yogi ✌️🤙🇦🇺
Thanks sir! I appreciate it
👍👍Thanks JR
Any time!
Great vid
Thx boss 🫡
Dude!!!! That Model 70 is looking fine!!! I Got 2 get one with a stock like that!
Got her as a gift from my uncle. She is a sweet girl! thx for dropping a line
Thanks for sharing, 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Bullet sectional density plays a huge role here.... Using a 180 gr bullet, 30-06 will penetrate deeper.
Definitely going to revisit with some 180!
The 6.8 Western with the 162 grain bullet has a much higher sectional density than the 30-06 with a 150. The 30-06 would need to shoot a 203 grain bullet to have the same sectional density.
Agreed. And SD plays a huge role in penetration!
The 3006 with a larger diameter bullet, traveling faster will dump energy much quicker than the 6.8. Thats why it didnt make it through the sand. On steel though, velocity is king so im surprised it didn't go through.
thx for dropping in
6.8 Western is the modern day version of the classic 30-06 vs .270 Win debate!
Yup!!
Well, you set the 30 odds 6 up for failure. A lite bullet and a bigger caliber. You know, the sectional density would be far less. But on the mild steel, I believe the 30 odd 6 went through.I would call it a tie.Look at the block and the 6.8.Western didn't go through the mild still
Definitely going to run this back… and I have some 30-06 AP to try!
Larger diameter going faster will penetrate less than heavier, but smaller diameter going slower. Basic physics. Not surprising at all
Agreed fair points
How many grain bullets were you using? Speed is supposed to defeat armor/steel but a heavy bullet will penetrate deeper into soft targets. The 6.8 western is basically a 270wsm with higher BC bullets (=more modern/updated), which makes it pretty great, even for long range. Sand is pretty tough to get through for a lead bullet. I'm curious how AP for 30-06 or a solid copper bullet would do for either one.
I actually have some AP 30-06 for that very reason and going to run a test soon! You’re right about the 6.8… I was using 162 6.8 Western and 150gr 30-06… thx for dropping in!
Sectional density wins almost every time.
Yes it does!
👍🏻👍🏻
Cool
🫡
If you're not using same weight bullets, the comparison is pointless.
and if you use the same weight bullet it comes down to case capacity... 🤓
162 grain 270 will have a higher sexual density than 150 grain 30 Cal
Higher sectional density for sure 👍
Well target shooting is very different than flesh of big game I know the 06 preforms exceptionally well , how does the 6.8 western ? Energy kills not speed
The 06 is a juggernaut for sure… so far taken a few hogs and one deer with the 6.8 - nothing moved more than a few yards
