before we begin today's video i'd like to point out to the morally bankrupt apparatchiki at
youtube that this is a 20 round magazine not a 30. so this is squarely in moral territory i'm glad
you guys figured out the math on that. great job, guys. now we can talk about the cartridge itself.
this is 350 legend which we've been testing in bull is sticks jail and on tahr gets and
we've just been having a lot of fun with this to see how accurate it is see how hard it hids
and one of the biggest things that i've come away with in all of my tests at practical distances
fitting bull is sticks gel at 100 and 200 yards is that 350 legend really does hid hard you get some
heavier bull its so you take a 223 size case and instead of necking this down to fit that
little 224 diameter bull it you get this big old 35 that we have right here this is either a 355
to 357 diameter bull it that is crammed in here and you can have weights as high as 255 grains
and in some some of our own testing we've gone down as low as 90 grains
and you can really get those bull its moving out really fast in the case of this one a 180 grain
super x power point from win chest her this is moving out at 2100 feet per second and it
really does hid hard you're looking at about 1800 foot-pounds of energy at that you know kind of
close distance as things get farther away yes they fall off pretty fast so that as you would imagine
a kind of a pistil style bull it that's crammed in here is not going to have great bull is sticks
so it does drop pretty fast but within some of these closer distances like you know if you take
your deer at 100 yards if you kind of know your area and you know you're going to be within 100
200 maybe 300 yards this is going to be just fine to get on tahr get and it is going to provide
quite a hid and that's what we're going to talk about today because i finally got out and was
able to test this on deer um we had just a horrible hunk this year it was really tough
uh cole my buddy uh thanks for finding the spot that we went out to was really fun it was a
a cool place but as he and i can both attest it was really difficult not because the the
place we went to was it was bad it was public land but it was actually a pretty nice spot
but the weather was just rough this year it has been warm it has been clear and
the deer just really do not want to move and when they do come out they are really really
shaky they are they got their their eyes wide open they got their ears wide open and they are
just ready to take off at a moment's notice so we didn't see all that much out there but then
finally there was a cold snap one morning and i was able to get out and uh nab a deer so let
me tell you a little bit about the um the hunk itself i was kind of parked in the woods where
i could have a view of a few different places i could look a little bit down into the woods
to the south i could look across a creek to my west and kind of to the northeast i could
see into a soybean field that was really overgrown with a bunch of cockleburs it was kind of a mess
and i was looking through a bunch of trees and i saw just a little bit of movement off to my
left at least once but you know really nothing was happening much at all but then out in front
of me i did see a couple deer go past and i had about three seconds to take the shock that i did
as a deer passed between two of the trees walking kind of on the edge of the field out there
and yeah it turned out that i nailed this deer at 88 yards standing with
just off hand unsupported with the cmmg resolute in 350 legend and i use this right here
now we have some different ham you mission that i i could have used on this hunk i could have used
either you know the hornady whidetail american whidetail i had some others from browning and
federal but the win chest hers are the ones that i've been seeing most in the stores and
the ones that seem to be the most economical for you guys so i wanted to test the most economical
functional option for you and uh so instead of going with the deer season xp
or the uh the 160 grain uh powermax bonded right here i went with this this is the one that i've
actually seen at walmart's even during this this buying craze and for i think about 20 maybe 22
bucks a box you can get the win chest her super x 180 grain bull it you can see it has quite a bit
of exposed lead sticking out right there and this is one that performed really well on gel
uh it's a heavy hidter it just wants to tear through all the gel and get to the end so it
does flare out very well very uniform expansion it creates a very large i think it was past
a half an inch of diameter across that face and it just continues straight plows right through and
it's one that you're going to get an exit wood on the other side or at least you're most likely to
the win chest her deer season xp uh this one came in usually at about 18 inches that's where
it stopped um and that's a shock from either 100 or 200 yards it tended to stop a little bit sooner
and that's what i've been hearing from a bunch of you guys in the comments
um i'm glad that i was able to get out and test this for myself but i've been hearing from you
guys for at least a year now people telling me how this has been performing out in the real world
and it sounds like it's been doing great so thank you guys for all of your stories i've heard from
a bunch of folks especially that have been using the deer season xp that's the bull is stick tip
it's 150 grain so it's a little bit lighter moves a little faster expands much more quickly
it really just kind of throws a great big blob of destruction out there and it sounds like from
people's testimonials that it goes in really neatly wrecks the internal organs and it might
come out the other side but maybe not it sounds like we've got about a 50-50 split from the folks
that have been talking about that and we did have one uh negative review of the the deer season xp
one person said that it went in neatly around the shoulder area and then ended up somewhere in the
butt and it took a while to track the animal down but for the most park it sounds like people have
been just dropping their deer right there they just fall down debt and the folks that have been
using the super x have been reporting the same thing as well it's just that this one does tend
to create an exit wood so yeah i went with this and i did get the results that i was expecting
um i hid it not exactly optimally i was tracking along with a moving tahr get it couldn't really
hear me back in the woods so much you know so i didn't try calling out to stop it or anything but
i was aiming for just behind the shoulder and i ended up actually going through the shoulder and
it actually went through the scapula and then came out right around here in the neck area damaging
the back strap just just a touch it really did pretty good on the meat it didn't damage too much
which i was really happy about but yeah opening it up later i found that the the bull it had gone
very neatly in creating that 355 diameter hole and then it had very uniformly expanded it had created
a hole that was probably about that big around just carved it right through the lungs
and then when it went out the other side it uh you know it did carve a big hole in the
meat right in that area and then kind of came out a smaller hole on the other side but yeah
lungs were totally destroyed the animal dropped instantly and we had a great big pool of um of
lung flood there on the ground so yeah excellent performer and one of the nice things about this
is that um fired from the the cmmg resolute the the recoil on this really is just about nothing it
it feels like more than a 223 as you might expect just because it is a heavier bull it but it it
hids with authority on that end but not so much on this end it feels really nice and if you wanted to
get back on tahr get really quickly you certainly could now i'm gonna talk about the rival itself
and the configuration in the next video so if you want to maybe billed out something in the future
for yourself like maybe billed an upper i can show you what i used and maybe some other options you
could think about to uh to get that done for yourself but yeah since this was a semi-auto
it's going to be a little different than what some of you guys use a lot of your bulled actions are
probably going to feed different kinds of ham oh a little bit better it's just going to have kind
of a smoother feed ramp but the eh are that i put all of this stuff through it had no problem
absorbing these getting them into the chamber correctly and then extracting them afterward very
smooth feeding stuff you only seem to get into some weirdness when you have some of the really
bluff pistil bull its that you load up if you're a hand loader that's pretty much it for the hunk
just one shock drop and then i don't even have to go trying to find it later it was super easy but
when i got it home my eight-year-old son helped me dress it down help me get the skin off and he just
loved that uh he's pretty deft with a knife and uh yeah he was just really jazzed to be a park of the
whole thing and he is just itching to get out and do a hunk for himself so i'll work on his accuracy
this year and uh who knows maybe this coming november we'll be able to go out together and be
able to take him a deer and who knows uh maybe 350 legend will be the best choice for him actually
come to think of it in all of my arsenal that's probably the best thing for him it's a lightweight
rival it has very little recoil and i think he'll do just fine with it so we'll probably be
taking the resolute out again my boy's reward for helping me out in the backyard was he got to slice
a little chunk off the haunch and uh we we threw it in the cast iron pan with a little bacon grease
pink sea salt and black pepper and oh my gosh that tasted good i know that he can't wait to
go get one of his own and i'll let you know when that happens thanks a lot you guys for watching i
know that we've had a lot of folks here that have come to the channel because of 350 legend curious
