Freedom Pew Sounds
so today's question on the channel is another episode of Dustin got curious how big of a tree
will a 308 go through let's find out so the rifle you were using today is this Adam's arms we'll
have a full review out on it on the channel so go check it out because piston driven is kind of
cool literally didn't mean to do that the ammo will be our bullets first for M80 762 by 51 by
our friends over at the americanmarksman.com but something else we're testing out today because
okay it's kind of stupid when I shoot a tree with a scoped rifle we have irons on it but these are
special irons from XS sites you know excess sites they make a lot of cool pistol sites but also for
tactical rifles lever guns shotguns these are also just accurate in two different reasons
because you'll normally have mechanical Offset you have your normal peep site and you have a
white striped tritium front post but watch when I use a traditional sight system I'm going to
go for that box the rectangle in the head Zone but an aim at that box I missed that box at all
because of mechanical offsets the sights are so higher than overboard so you get that normal drop
into uh well it'd be like a nose would have done the job sure hostage situation could be bad what
these have is a notch on top so that at seven yards if we use that Notch like a pistol site
oh right in the box when I use this like a pistol Notch an equal sight equal light on the top we
are dead stinking Center it takes the guesswork out of it but we still have a hundred yard zero
step this way I think there's a Firebird Target on that one target out there about 80 yards all right
so we're still good to go we have 2-0 something for up close and oh no and something up for the
far away now let's see what these sights will do to a tree we're starting off with the eight
eight and a half inch tree just depending on where you shoot it [Music] so much bark I want to see
I don't think the paper is necessary but it sure did look cool to blow out
10 inch tree I can almost not see where my paper is [Music] I have no idea
not only did it go through it went through at a very odd angle oh snap
maybe the bark exited first and the bullet right behind it either way I
want to shoot it again I want to see it blow through it moved a lot
okay yeah uh definitely goes through a tin itch tree moving on up 12 inches
we may have found it
no exit so from 10 to 12 it made that big of a difference uh but
we got to double check I'll do it scientifically
yeah
no exit so 12 inches is all it takes to stop at 308. of course hollow point
wouldn't do better but a solid round might this is something I've been looking forward
to doing we have the Fort Scott Munitions tumble upon impact solid copper spun bullet
I've we've done it with the 50 cal before and we've seen great results so let's do
it with the 308 and see if we can make it through that 12 inch tree
oh look at that it tumbled out the edge
okay so it went through but at a little deviation let's let's try again [Music]
I think that may have been the same Oh yay oh snap Perfection I like it
there it is so we have once again discovered the absolute perfect tree size for a copper spun 308
it's 12 inches so well it kind of went through here but it stopped right on the edge there so
there you have it I guess it tumbled upon it back to inside that tree that's cool that's
cool right there I had to see if it was hot it's just barely warm but you see how well
that stayed together that's why solid bullets will always have better penetration because
they don't fragment so go check out the other series we have one on 762x39 we have the 556
including green tip and now this is the 308 12 inch tree which once again if if I was hiding
behind this tree and you were shooting at this tree I would barely feel adequate coverage so the
bigger the tree of course the better it would be all round thanks for coming by today guys
