Howdy, guys and gals! I'm Kyle Broderick. Welcome to the Social Regressive. today's
test is kind of a combination of a whole bunch of things that we've done in the
past we've made 6.5 Creedmoor subsonic ammunition we have tested out 308
subsonic ammunition to see what kind of damage that we can do and we've been
testing out this rifle right here this is a CMMG mark 3 DTR 2 - a fantastic
rifle as you've been seeing in some of the challenges that we've been doing
where we've been nailing moving targets we've been hitting at a thousand yards
we've been firing at a mile and we've done some some kind of mixed targets at
various distances to see how quickly we can get from target to target with a
semi-automatic rifle like this so again 6.5 Creedmoor heavy barrel and what I'm
really curious about today since we are launching 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain spire
point subsonics through this those are bullets from spear and you can go back
and check out the video that I did showing how I created these it's using
trail boss powder and a couple little tricks that I had to do in order to get
these to be kind of consistent and stable well what we're gonna do is we're
gonna do that same destruction testing I have the same setup as last time with
308 and we're going to be hitting this steel popper target right here and then
poking through that pan into the water jugs on the other side and we found out
in the previous test that 22 long-rifle it didn't really move that popper at all
the 308 sure did and knocked it back a little bit nothing quite like a
supersonic would but the 22 did pierce that pan so we're not going to revisit
that I'll just show you the little video right here but now we're just going to
go ahead and fire with this and we'll see what kind of mess we can
make and this rifle is really heavy I wish that I could have taken some of
this stuff off it we have the Bushnell HD mr2 previously reviewed awesome scope
just love the scope right now I don't like the scope because it's heavy it's
definitely set up for a prone rifle and then I have the bipod way
out here on the front that you can't really take it off because it's not
quick detach I'd have to undo it it's kind of a pain in the neck and then
Hevy stainless barrel on here which is why we get so much accuracy out of this
rifle but today it's working against me this is not a rifle I've ever wanted to
use offhand well here we go
that's right I forgot these are subsonics so they don't have
enough gas pressure to actually open the bolt gotta manually do it now this does
have a tunable gas block in here it's not adjustable on-the-fly you have to
use some wrenches to get at it but we could possibly open this up enough that
the subsonics would cycle it but then if we were to run supersonic ammunition
through it right after it would probably destroy some things all right and you
know what since that was kind of a low hit on the popper I'm gonna take one
more I forgot to adjust since we're so darn close I need to hold about eight
milliradians high with this scope so let's do one more there we go that moved
it a little bit
here's the mess I think this was that second 6.5 Creedmoor impact so that was
pretty high up on it good splatter going on there and then
here's our hit on the pan okay so there that's the new hole that we cut through
there so not too far off center not too bad considering how heavy the rifle was
I was aiming all right and we missed this jug entirely we went right over the
top this one was just a stand for this one basically and now let's see if we
can find these jugs all right so here's number one there is the entry wound exit
wound right there this is really similar to what I see when I choose a 75 grain
boat tail hollow point from Hornady through my 223 all right let's see if
this thing started open up oh yeah this is not the same kind of entry hole
right here that is ragged big mess and then the exit is splitting this bottle
open even more look at that it just tore it right up to the neck good grief
that's a lot of energy final bottle oh hey we have a bullet we have a bullet
trapped in here I'm gonna take this to the car so we can check it out this is
why people like speer hot cor bullets it looks like most of that bullet is
still in there let's find out all right so we have one little pedal that's
sheared off and then we have this is pretty light oh there we go
this is just the jacket it looks like the core tore through and kept going
cool you can see that it mushroomed really well yeah that's definitely gonna
cut some things up that's gonna make a big mess speaking of a big mess here is
the jug that was just hit this is the third one big oil entry wound
I can feel the exit the exit is quite small so I guess that's where the court
or through there's no lead inside this bottle as far as I can see it looks like
it came out as one mass right out the back and not too shabby consider that
that is about 18 inches of water that it went through in mushroom nicely and yeah
the course still made it all the way through
I think today's video should dispel any of the misconceptions that we've had
about in subsonic ammunition when we hear about it it sounds like it's kind
of silly like it's just kind of a range toy it doesn't make any sense it's not
really gonna do anything like airsoft and no it's not like that at all
this can make quite a mess you can see that okay if you consider the fact that
these bullets weigh 140 grains which is just a little bit less than what a heavy
9-millimeter weighs and those are also subsonic when usually when they're that
heavy then yeah this is this is definitely a deadly serious thing going
on here and because it has those slicker bullets it's actually going to have a
better trajectory than a 9-millimeter would of course and with the the setup
of this bullet and its spire point I think it'll be very effective against
you know things like coyotes if you need to be discreet if you need to be quiet
so you've had some kind of varmint coming around your your bar and messing
with your chickens or something great quiet way to deal with it and your
neighbors won't even notice really really quiet today we weren't going
without a suppressor or with a suppressor this was just the muzzle
break that's why I have my hearing protection on right now actually and you
can still see that you know it was pretty quiet I could have hit this
without it but it's still like using a 22 and I want to save what's left of
my hearing yeah we have a whole bunch more challenges coming up make sure you
subscribe to the social regressive we have performed all kinds of challenges where
we have tested out we've done kind of the sound test where we have fired 22
long-rifle 223 supersonic 223 subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor supersonic we're doing 308
subsonic and now we're getting into 6.5 Creedmoor subsonic I want to hear what
these bullets sound like as they go past the camera go past a microphone
because it really is interesting to hear that Hollywood pew sound that appears
when you get to certain distances usually it kicks in at about a hundred
yards 150 200 and you really get that few sound as the bullet goes by it's
it's really cool and I am still curious to find out you know at what point it
appears with different bullets and what might be causing it is it a standing
wave behind the bullet is it a hollow point and the two that we've tested most
recently 308 Winchester and now 6.5 Creedmoor
those will kind of get rid of the hollow point idea if we still do hear that pew
sound thanks a bunch to patrons of the destructive arts are making tests like
this possible like that video where I showed how I put together these subsonic
loads in the first place make sure you check that out I'll link to it around
here somewhere and yeah that's going to show how I actually put this together
there's a censored version on YouTube because they've been kind of cranky
lately about loading stuff everybody's kind of scared they're gonna get their
videos taken down and I have the full version not on my patreon
page so yeah go to patreon if you want to get involved and if you want to see
some behind the scenes content I have all kinds of neat stuff out there and
some great people that are helping me figure out what to test for one thing
they come up with some of these challenges like multi distance moving
targets and then you know I try to figure out how to make those ideas
happen it's really nice to have a bunch of good people that I can talk to yeah
check us out there and as I said make sure you subscribe so that you see the
upcoming videos they're gonna be pretty exciting thanks for watching if you like

didn't like this particular content go ahead and subscribe there's probably
something coming that's more up your alley check out this playlist right here
