One more 350 legend factory load for us to test out here, guys! We have the Hornady
170 grain spire point or soft point this is one that it's gonna pack a pretty
good wallop I think we're gonna see if this expands like some of the others did
and some of the others didn't we're gonna find out here in the ballistics
gel so we're gonna hit this at 100 yards and 200 yards and the reason that we can
hit pretty accurately at those distances because of this CMMG makes a mean
rifle this is the resolute it's just a carbine length and yeah this sucker is
accurate wonderful rifle and on top the scope is a TS 6x from us optics this is
a really sweet little FFP optic up top here and now let's get down here and go
see what we can do
you
the 170 grain Hornady made a huge wound track through here this is a good bit
wider even than the 458 SOCOM that we're going to be showing here in a bit yeah
this looks like it gets up to a maximum of about one in three-quarter inches of
width going on through here and then it looks like in addition to the immediate
expansion and the gigantic wound channel from the expansion of it you can kind of
see the the corkscrew going through that we have this leaf shape it looks like
the projectile started to tumble as I got through here and it's cutting all the
way out to 16 inches continuing to cut out to maybe about 20 inches or so
before it really kind of settles down goes up and I was afraid we were gonna
lose this one but it's actually in the sand so hopefully we'll be able to pick
out that projectile great news y'all yes the projectile went through 32 inches of gel
but then it stopped immediately in the sandbag and you can actually see a
little bit of the copper poking out right there we're gonna dig this projectile
out right now and see what it looks like
there it is all right we have a pretty good mushroom going on it's not much
larger than the base of the projectile but then remember that this one did turn
around backwards so it might have lost a little bit I suspect though that this is
just kind of the way it was because I'm seeing you know fully curled petals
right here so yeah it looks like it doesn't have to have a gigantic mushroom
to make a gigantic wound channel this is a solid performer out to 200
at 200 yards the Hornady isn't bringing quite as much heat as it used to this
one isn't flaring out quite as much as before we're getting about one inch
across on this channel and then it just continues to cut all the way back
through you're here through the the first block and then it cuts out the
side right here on the second block I think this would have had no trouble
cruising through all 32 inches of gel this does have some pretty devastating
sections though look at this one right here as it tumbles through this section
we're getting about a two inch wide cut through there
and you can see from some of the footage where the the temporary wound channel
was looking pretty good much like the Winchester soft point I think this is
one that's going to carry a lot of energy through some of your larger game
while providing a pretty good hit on the inside and tearing things up we're gonna
recover this from the bag and see what we got the 170 grain Hornady as you can
see has mushroomed and created some pretty wicked cutting pedals so we're
looking at a maximum width okay about three point three eight five point three
eight zero somewhere in there let's see how much retained with weight we have
one sixty eight point four so of the 170 grains we just lost a tiny bit of copper
or maybe a tiny bit of lead and that's about it this has held together very
well and as you can see those wound channels were looking pretty good this
200 yard hit actually seems to have opened up more than the 100 which is a
little bit odd okay well maybe not it seems maybe just a bit more uniform it's
it's hovering actually right about the same 380 so this is an excellent
consistent performer this is one that seems to be kind of distance neutral no
matter what distance you're at if you're within you know 100 yards or if you're
out at 200 looks like this one's gonna perform very well let's see what kind of
retained weight we have 160 9.2 so yeah we have hung on to pretty much all the
weight said none of the jacket or the the core
at all yeah wonderful how easy is it to make a hit with this at three point six
eight inches this is the largest group that I printed with any of the ammunition
either hand loaded or Factory and remember that this is my particular gun
this might work better and maybe a longer barrel or your particular gun you
should try this one out for yourself if you're looking for a load that provides
out that heavier projectile that heavier hit one that can punch through bone without
any kind of issue I think that this is going to be the one for you either this
or that Winchester 180 I recommend that you try both of those both of them have
similar velocities this one's a little bit faster this one's moving out at 2161
feet per second standard deviation of 17.0 eight so this is quite precise when
it comes to its velocities it's just a little bit stringy in my gun it this may
change for you make sure that you stick around and watch for more videos when
they come out we're gonna be testing more 350 legend loads we're gonna be
doing 5.7x28, 6.5 Creedmoor, 243 Winchester we're gonna be testing them
in gel we're gonna be testing them on paper and we might be doing some things
like hitting eggs with some of these it's gonna be a whole lot of fun make
