howdy guys and gals I'm Kyle Broderick welcome to the social regressive we're
standing out here in the oklahoma pre-summer it's quite warm and we're
going to be firing the rifle that you guys have been asking about this is the
savage 110 scout you can see that the small scope that we have on here is
mounted really far forward we have irons at the rear and at the front if you want
to take a close look at everything that came in the box with this rifle make
sure you check out the previous video this is all leading up to one great big
overall review of this rifle we're going to be testing it in all kinds of
situations I mostly want to test this in realistic situations where this is
designed to be shot anywhere from 0 to about 450 yards somewhere in there and
mostly shot off hand or from some kind of hasty rest
I like braced up against a tree or something and so we will be testing this
rifle under those circumstances for now though I wanted to have a little bit of
fun you can see that I have a suppressor mounted on the end of this the rifle
does come threaded and it has one of the neatest little muzzle brakes that I have
ever seen wait until that final review I'll show
you how it works because it is really darn slick I can't believe it no one
ever thought of it before at least I haven't seen it before really neat the
way that it attaches yeah we're going to be running quiet today
and we're gonna be firing at really close range because I've been wondering
myself how much damage a subsonic 308 can do and we're at very close range
right now you know these can definitely be shot at longer ranges actually
sighted these in at a hundred yards but today we're just gonna see what we can
break back here I have an AR 500 target here on the left and I have just a steel
pan that I painted orange and behind it we have some water jugs so we're gonna
see what kind of mess this can make now for foil we're actually going to start
out with the good old Ruger 10/22 this is launching some subsonics same speed
there these are both clocking in at about 1,050 feet per second and these
right here weigh 40 grains these are really nice loads from CCI they come in
those kind of long 100 round bricks and yeah these work very well
my testing the route very tightly they're hollow points so they're meant
for hunting they're meant for you know harvesting squirrels rabbits other small
game like that and yes they are very quiet so I'm not even gonna bother
putting a suppressor on the end today and we're just gonna take a shot at each
of these and we're gonna see what happens I'm gonna nail the
silhouette first just to see if it can even move that plate and then we're
gonna fire at the pan to see if this can actually go through I have both of
these angled away from me so that if something does bounce it's gonna go off
to the side over there hopefully yeah they look like nothing happened
well I was expecting not to punch through that pan I've had some of these
pans out here before the bullets are just bounced off if they're 22s but I
was wrong let's see what we can do with this there's definitely gonna be a
difference in energy we're talking about the same speed but instead of a 40 grain
bullet we're looking at a 208 grain a max bullet yeah it's gonna hit with
probably about the same power as a 357 magnum at this range it might actually
be a little bit harder than that I'll actually put the ballistics on the
screen here for you to see well let's see if we can rock these things
let's go down and check out the damage it does look like it's pretty profound
and I got to say just from firing this just now these two shots this action is
the buttery smooth action that I'd been hoping for from this rifle this has an
accuracy international single stack magazine instead of some of the double
stacks that you get on other rifles and on the model 10 GRS when we had this
same mag which is a Magpul PMAG at 10 rounder it would just made the whole
rifle just so smooth and so fun to handle really fingertip ii and yeah it
still is oh that's so slick that feels great
let's go see the damage alright there's our shot Center punched it I was hoping
that I got this sighted in ok was pretty hasty this morning but there it is
and then right behind it leaning up against this jug straight through the
neck jug number 2 was this guy right here and it looks like it kind of went
through the side so went in right here and then look at how look at the damage
on this it is torn all to bits the backside is blasted right out and then
jug number two or jug number three which is which I can't tell if this is entry
or exit I get remember how I have this oh this must be entry right here it
still has some spray paint on it so there you go entry so that's quite a big
hole there and then exit right back here and I don't see any chunks in the water
so it still had enough energy to plow on through that bullet probably deformed a
whole lot and may have actually gone to bits this is a bullet that's designed to
fragment I mean it's really a target bullet but it
acts like a varmint bullet so it just explodes when it hit stuff moving as
slow as it did it might actually have stayed together but that's still very
dramatic damage if you liked today's test make sure that you subscribe to the
so so regressive and hit the notification button down at the bottom
if you're in YouTube that way you'll get instant updates when we come out with a
new test because there are going to be a whole bunch more not just testing this
rifle in various situations but testing the ammunition and seeing what they
sound like for example we've done a whole bunch of tests in the past where
we have fired subsonic 22 subsonic 223 supersonic 223 supersonic 6.5 Creedmoor
and we are going to be firing these subsonic 308 past a microphone at
various ranges to see if we can figure out what the sound is like we've been
hearing that Hollywood cute sound everybody kind of makes fun of in movies
we actually found that sound when firing subsonics past a camera
usually kicks in about 100 yards 150 yards and we're gonna see if this makes
that sound there have been a lot of guesses on the channel about what makes
that sound happen if it's the hollow point you know some kind of standing
wave inside that hollow point as it goes past is it a standing wave behind the
bullet maybe is it some kind of sound waves crushed in front of the bullet
nobody knows but since these are actually pointed bullets these are those
Hornady a max we're gonna at least rule out the hollow point if we can indeed
still hear that pew sound at the whip sound so we have a whole bunch other
tests we're actually gonna be testing subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor as well for
damage just like we've done here and figuring out what the sound of that is
like to see if it is indeed a viable way to go and actually since we're really
talking about it here I think that this is a really viable round a 308 subsonic
a heavier subsonic it's going to perform actually you know better than a
nine-millimeter it's going to move through the air a whole lot slicker
because these are slicker bullets and it's going to have a really nasty impact
so I think that these could be very useful if you're on you know a farm if
you're on a homestead if you want to be able to maybe take care of varmints
where you have neighbors around you want to just be able to do things quietly
I think that this is a really neat way to load up and this is actually using a
technique that I talked about in a previous video I'll link to it where I
made subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor and I used Trail Boss powder to make it happen this
is pretty much the exact same thing all I did was just use a different load of
course for 308 and for these heavier bullets but these things are just
trucking on out and yeah it was a lot of fun if you want to get involved become a
patron of the destructive arts I'll put the link to the patreon account here and
it's folks like those that are coming up with some of these crazy ideas for
things that we can hit things that we can test get involved and yeah I'm
looking forward to seeing you guys in the next video thanks for watching if
