howdy guys and gals I'm Kyle Broderick welcome to the social regressive we're
out in a field today so that we can hear what a subsonic 308 sounds like we have
done all kinds of audio tests in the past we've fired everything from 22
long-rifle to 223 6.5 Creedmoor and today yeah 308 we are launching these massive
208 grain Hornady a-max bullets in 308 with some trail boss behind them you can
check out the video that shows how I cooked up a subsonic load
for 6.5 Creedmoor and really the techniques are the same for 308 you just
use a slightly different powder charge and you kind of work your way down until
you find the speed so yeah these are leaving the muzzle at about 1050 feet
per second and we are firing it through the fabulous Savage 110 Scout
you guys have been asking to see this actually out on patreon we had folks
that I put out a poll for them and I asked okay which rifle you want me to
review next and this was the consensus most of the folks who wanted to see this
rifle in action this one has been getting a lot of press a lot of interest
and I can really see why now that I've played with it it's an interesting
concept it's it's really well squared away as
far as I can tell and in a previous video that we did where we fired these
subsonic loads at targets like we actually tore through a steel pan with
some some water jugs behind it we wanted to see how effective these subsonics
could be because a lot of people really think of subsonics as kind of a range
toy as a silly thing but no they're very effective and yeah so we fired through
here and we found out that this action is super super slick it's every bit as
good as that model 10 GRS that I tested last year which was the slickest
bolt-action at least from savage that I have ever tried it might be the slickest
bolt-action ever it runs wonderfully but yeah today let's
do that sound test and thanks a bunch again to the patrons of the destructive
arts that helped to you know pick out this rifle bought the trail boss powder
and some of the equipment that we're using to test if you want to kind of
get a behind-the-scenes view get a couple extra goodies go out to patreon
and you can just you know kick us a buck a month or so and yeah
get involved and we can work together to do some really interesting reviews in
the future just like with the subsonic 6.5 Creedmoor video we will be using
this monarch 3000 stabilized rangefinder from Nikon to figure out how far
we actually are from the microphone this is a really cool piece of gear make sure
you check out the full review there it is immediately noticeable listen to that
again and not so much on that one
and there it is unmistakable we have completely ruled out the hollow-point
hypothesis to slick pointed bullets have managed to make the pew sound is it a
Doppler shift from the sound of the bullet moving through the air are
certain frequencies traveling through air faster than others like the weird
sound you get bouncing a rock off a frozen lake Mythbusters figure out
