Why don't you get a good rest to put your gun on

Ruger ranch all the time......

Do you go back to that spot often, looks like a good spot!

The Ballistics Chart for the 400 Legend Zeroed in at 150-175 yards and only about a 4 inch drop at 200 yards.

What kind of hides are on that table? Is that rabbit?

The ruger American is so disappointing from a gun manufacturer that has made some of the greatest rifles! It's a shame!!!!!!

Guys I have shot both these guns I own both these guns both in the ruger American platforms also the350 and 400 in savage platform all with Vortex straight wall crossfire scopes and these guns all cut holes at 100-200 -300 yards I have watched so many videos why no one is getting the grouping and accuracy I get is totally beyond me 🤦‍♂️these are far better rifles than a lot of videos suggest . I shoot Hornady black for the 450 and Winchester 215 gr for the 400 and and Winchester 180gr . Zig we aren’t punching that orange we aren’t sighted in over here in Ohio . Happy hunting

BearCreekBallistics makes 450 bushmaster at various power levels: 240HV @2590fps, 200HV@ 2800fps, and 200AR@2600FPS. 400 legend never catches up because it is slow and uses cup and core bullets. BCB all copper bullets mushroom/ expand down to 1100fps. No shrapnel in the meat.

I'd like to see them load a 250 gr. in 400 an then compare it to the 450 then PS jus stick to the 450

Nearly all Ruger American bolt guns have a very rough bolt, with an above average accurate hammer forged barrel. That and I dislike the loud safety on the Ruger. The Mossenberg has a great action and safety and normally not very accurate barrel. If you get one that is accurate, that is awesome, you have a keeper.

Ray Charles shoots better than that … n ur comment of slug guns is invalid all my slug guns cloverleaf the same hole @75 yards

The 400 is the new kid on the block. It catches up to the 450 by the time you get to 200 yards. It's flatter shooting and holds it's energy better. Have to mail order ammo, or reload for it at this point. If all your shots are under a hundred yards and don't mind the recoil then the 450 has the advantage. The 350 legend is plentiful but doesn't have enough energy past 150 yards. The 400 is good to 200. 215 grain bullet vs 185. I think the 400 is a fine all arounder. But time will tell.

Nothing against the 400 but you might as well use the 450 that has knocked down power

I know ammo is high greatly appreciate yor time and hard work

They make 200 grain 450 bushmaster

Winchester makes 3 different grans they have it in 215g 190g and 300 g the 300 g is subsonic. I love the 400 I have 2 350 legends and I love them so much I got excited when Winchester decided to finally release the 400Legend and I agree I really hope Hornity gets on the wagon and start making ammunition for the 400Legend. The energy at 200 yards is crazy. If you haven't gotten a 400 yet get one you won't be disappointed. God bless you all and happy hunting this up coming season

Ya okay I've done 1 moa at a 100 with a 20 gage big deal my choice is the 450 the 400 is not taking off good better choices out there. So bla bla bla bla bla

In all honesty and all due respect...This test shed very little light on anything. If you are going to continue this get a good rest and shooting platform.

I saw you mess with the magnification after your first shot if you sighted in on 9x and shoot it at 3x its not going to hit in the same spot

You having any issues with your mossbergs? Kinda want a 400 or a 450 in a cascade for hunting Brush nice group for a crappy rest then again hunting we have to improvise rests. That’s decent shooting for the rest you got

I have ruger scout 450. Its a true 1 moa beast. My kids call it the heart breaker. I ran the math on a 400 when the 350 came out. I knew it was only a matter of time. I came out with a 175 copper bullet should hit at 2500 ish with a drop at only 6 inch at 300 yards zeroed at 150. So i saving my money till they catch up. Ruger give me my new scout 400. Also i called my round the 400 rush. I recommend putting a muzzle redirect on the 450. Saved my ears during hunting season

I appreciates these kinds of videos

You would get better groups if you had a shooting sled

41 Great Lakes beats both

I'm surprised off of a plastic table.. and no rest that you could even get that... 😂

Mossberg rifles are not made well. I will not be buying one. Pretty much everything else on market ismade better than the mossberg atr/patriot rifles.

So you didn't answer your own question?

I have been waiting for these since the 90's. I really dislike slug guns and muzzle loaders after hunting in pa with a rifle. More accurate than a slug gun could ever be and way cheaper to shoot. Good video. Took deer with 350L last year. Looking to buy a ruger am in 400L

Have an Encore barrel in 450 BM, its a good shooter. Have been thinking about a barrel in 400 Legend. Good video👍👍

Don't get a lead sled...what you shot off of is practical.

Great video, I picked the 350legend because the ammunition is every where, love it

Looks like the gun is doing it's job yet. Might need to upgrade the scope.

I can tell u why u got bullet shift u changed the power on scope .Bushnell will change inpact

Much obliged I was pretty stoked.

What a shot!! Same hole?? No way!

Thanks for your time and spent rounds. Both shot better than my 7.62x54R. My buddy calls it "MOA of Deer" Its been Glass Bedded in two different stocks, timney trigger, .308 and .311 bullets of all types and powders. Short of rebarrel or recrown. So brother it could be alot worse. Thanks again for your effort and rounds. Club of No Return! Life Member

Tap your rings after adjusting your scope.. helps them from sticking. Saves you from wasting that 1st shot.

I've had a sticky bolt on my Ruger American 450 on my hand loads before

My 450 does the same thing on a cold bore

Cold bore clean bore almost positive on the 400

I'm from Iowa to I love my 450 bushmaster

Where did you get the Ruger American with the black stock mine is a ugly tan

I have the 350 Legend and love it. I was curious about the 400. Looks like it shoots well. Thanks for the video!

23. Lk ❤wow

Nice video. Thanks for posting. Im in straight walled Ohio and been trying to decide on what straight walled rifle to get. Leaning towards the ruger American 450 bushmaster (rancher)

I think I saw a pheasant roosting in one of them limbs you cut down… You know what they say about pheasants in a tree? Are you CRAZY?!!! 🤪 Great video bud and the editing is top notch. 👍👍🍻

That should be a great spot! Looked like a lot of work. Good luck!

safe to say that gun hates that ammo

I might have missed it, but were either of these rifles zero'd prior to grouping them in this video? If they were, I'd be sure to re-torque all of your scope mount fasteners and ensure the scope reticle is square with the bore. I'd argue the shot group's size, and it's actual location on the target are two different things. The group location can obviously be adjusted for within the scope. If you have holes touching each other, but the location is higher than your point of aim, then you have excellent groups whose location simply needs to be adjusted for within the scope. If it were me, I'd get some sort of MIL reticle scope and get a dead nuts 100 yard zero with both rifles. Laying out prone on the ground and resting the rifle on a stable rest will help take a lot of human error out of this equation. I'd shoot no less than five rounds per group to ensure you have a good average of the accuracy you, the barrel, and ammunition are capable of producing Once a dead nuts 100 yard zero is obtained, I'd then shoot 5+ round groups at various distances while holding my point of aim dead center on the target, then making a note of where your point of impact is relative to the MIL dots/hash marks in the scope's reticle. For example, if you are POA/POI at 100yds, but at 150yds you're one MIL low, you now know your holdover for 150yds is 1.0 MILs high which should be the first hash mark below the center crosshair. This way you can quickly and easily make on-the-fly hold over/under shots based on this data. I have this "DOPE" (Data Of Previous Engagements) written down on a notecard and taped to the stock of my rifle. Very interesting video though! I hope 400 Legend takes off, especially since it seems to have the power of 450 Bush but with significantly less recoil!

Cleaned the bore first shot on 400
