Here at the Social Regressive we are
testing the poop outta 350 Legend. We
are finding out which ammunition is
which and which one is going to make a
big mess in gel and we're talking about
practical ranges here so we are using
that CMMG Resolute at one hundred and
two hundred yards to hit this gel and
see what kind of a mess it can make
helping us land that hit up on top we
have a US optics TS 6x scope on there
it's one of those good AR style scopes
it has an illuminated reticle that has
some extra drop values which for this
cartridge is really important I want to
be able to get that extra mil radiant of
drop that I'm getting with pretty much
all of these cartridges out at 200 yards
we've already tested two excellent
offerings from Winchester we have the
deer season XP and the super X with its
power point it's a 180 grain and both of
those perform very well doing slightly
different things that soft point just
tore through two blocks of gel it has a
whole lot of energy that it can put in
there and it cuts a very long but not
quite as wide path that deer season XP
just goes off at the
beginning of the gel and creates a huge
mess then when we're testing today is a
160 grain PowerMax bonded hollow-point
and we're going to see if this works
like that 145 or that 180 we're going to
see how this works it looks like it'll
cut through the air pretty well it does
have a really long nose let's get out
there and see what this can do a 100 and
200 yards oh yeah that looks good okay
yeah good
sorry I didn't get any slow-mo footage
of the 100-yard hit with the PowerMax
bonded but we have the results right
here we can kind of see this as a little
slice in time this opened up just a bit
under one inch and then flared out a lot
like a varmint bullet look at those
chunks of lead flying off through there
this has a total width of those lead
chunks of about one and a half inches
and it cuts this big three dimensional
one-and-a-half inch cut for a very long
time probably about five inches of that
and then at nine inches it starts that's
where we kind of get to the end of the
major cut you see that last little leaf
right there and then it just kind of
continues to cut some little ones back
through here like this little leaf shape
that you see right back there and then
in the second block it may have tumbled
it may have done a little something
right through there but it comes to rest
way back here so we're looking at about
26 inches of penetration on this bullet
and you can see that where it came to
rest there's just this great big blobby
mess I'm really looking forward to
seeing how this bullet looks at 200
yards the PowerMax bonded opens up very
quickly this is a good high performance
bullet as you can see it yeah it flares
out within the first inch and gets to
its maximum width that's probably about
one and in eight inches right there of
width and you can see that this is a a
to Tamara it's a three dimensional cut
this one actually cuts in all directions
so it is it's not just that leaf shape
cut that you get from some of these
tumbling bullets now this one is cutting
quite a good mess and it's continuing
that cut for a good long way all the way
back here through ten inches it's really
continuing to cut
now here's where it gets mixed up with
another hit from another bullet I think
this might be one of the subsonics that
came out this side so we're getting kind
of mixed up here I'm gonna go around to
the top but yeah this is our cut from
the the PowerMax bonded it just keeps
going keeps going and as it gets into
the next block it starts to kind of
settle and then this one actually comes
out the side and might have oh yeah this
is the one that hit our sandbag and
bounced off I was not able to recover
that projectile maybe if I had known
that it had gone out and bounced off the
sandbag I wouldn't be able to go find it
in the grass but I only saw it here in
post while I was editing to see that it
bounced off but yeah lots of energy I
think this would have gone through all
32 inches of gel it only had a few left
to go but a pretty darn good cut at 200
nice job
look at how Purdy this 160 grain HP
looks coming out of the gel that is
exactly what we've been looking for with
all these winchester has really been
knocking it out of the park with this
ammo everything that we've tested of
theirs has been just high performance
it's been doing really really well so
yeah let's see what kind of width we
have on this it is neatly folded back
all the way across and actually the as
we saw it flying through the air it
looks like the 200 yard hit is probably
very similar it did not look very long
as we as it kind of tumbled through the
air let's see if we can find the widest
spot right here
alright we are looking at about point 5
to 5 so yeah decent width overall we've
gotten over a half inch of width on that
very cool and we do have you know it's
all holding together really well because
it is that bonded bullet it has plenty
of base left so this is one that is
gonna be able to carry through the
entire animal as you you know of course
up close here it dumped a lot of that
energy first but you know with the 200
you saw that it went through all 32
inches of gel providing lots of energy
on there really really good choice let's
see how much weight we had
left one 48.1 out of the original 160
and we saw in its wound track that it
was kind of spitting out some little
chunks of lead and probably some little
bits of copper as well great performer
as far as accuracy goes this one is
holding right in there with the others
we're looking at two point six inches
across here
not too shabby I was only able to clock
four of the five velocities of in this
five round group but we have a mean of
twenty one eighty feet per second a
standard deviation of thirty so this one
is higher but there is one thing that I
should point out here guys this probably
actually is working a little better
than that I was kind of getting off the
center of my cronograph with some of
these and I think that the part of
it that's also kind of the reason why I
didn't get that fifth velocity I think I
was getting off the center of there so I
can't really trust these numbers I think
the mean is probably about right but
some of these others that are getting
into some strange velocities I think
that's really due to me just not getting
it straight over the top like the other
two supersonic offerings from Winchester
I highly recommend this this is high
performance it's going to get the job
done and it's going to do it accurately
and reliably definitely pick one of
these three these are all gonna get the
job done great job Winchester be sure
that you stick around and watch for some
of the upcoming videos we're gonna do
we're gonna do some more hand loading
and testing some of those hand loads in
jail
we have 243 Winchester that I've been
working on in the background we have
