Try using the civil defense 380 against the pavers I’m curious to see how well that fast little bullet will do

[@bassboy99091]

Thank you for taking my suggestion for this video I am really thinking about a 22-250 rifle for woodchuck hunting

[@garybrumbaugh5481]

Anyone have a 222??

[@jagzilla1398]

Hold your horses there..The 22-250 left all that "dust" on the second paver..I think we can call that a win...

[@nigelbase1196]

Both will kill a fox or coyote ..who gives a toss how many pavers are destroyed...ive killed hundreds with both calibres 😉

[@randallwhite9015]

Try the Barns copper bullets please. Thank you I just ordered some barns to try, also hope ya take a whitetail this fall. I've had a 223 for years but now the 22- 250 is being put to the test. Me like it.

[@2wheeleddemon999]

Being soo light and having all that boogie behind it will make them explode, especially being a expanding round. Need something will a little junk in the trunk to push through those bad boys. Good video man, would like to see a paper plate test 👍🏼

[@benmadderom2281]

Excellent technical assessment!

[@davidfultz6483]

Yup! Paper plates !

[@kentuckywindage222]

Still wonder how a Black Hills TSX or equivalent solid brass(monolithic) bullet would compare? May do exactly the same?! Good looking pup you got there 2wheeled Demon!

[@Me2Lancer]

@@kentuckywindage222 I think you are correct. Standard 55 gr bullets don't have the mass needed for penetration of dense solid material. Solid copper may get the job done.

[@kentuckywindage222]

@@Me2Lancer I would like to see it tested. I would be willing to try and get the ammo to test. It is getting tougher to find stuff.

So my son ( 11 yr old ) and I went fire arm shopping this weekend. We ended up setting a appointment for father son fire arm safety course. The boy really wants a mini 14 in 223 . He said he can skip the 10/22 and go straight into the big boy rounds🤗😎makes a daddy proud!!!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Nice!

[@richarddixon7276]

Tell him he's a good boy then buy him it for his birthday /christmas along with a couple of cases of ammo (if he's like I was as a kid then that won't be enough ammo) , so maybe the 10/22 is a better idea to start with, just so he can get more range time in (unless Your loaded and money's no object ) in which case buy him both ! .

My thoughts exactly. It would be interesting to see less frangible ammo if possible.

[@terrymargieduvall4808]

You should have used full metal jacketed bullets. I can guarantee you the 22-250 would have won.

[@dangoleshootnetwork6036]

Although each round went through just one block, the 22-250 definitely did more damage. It transferred more energy towards the second block, and also threw the pieces of the first block higher than the .223.

[@ckim6400]

Seems the projectiles react the same on concrete pavers even if there is a difference in speed. The real difference would appear in a tissue target such as whole turkey's.

[@yaykruser]

C Kim Yeah, if you want to penetrate hard things like Rock or Ceramic you need something with a big diameter and mass to break it. The Pircing like a nail through butter ( thats what a solid bullet does to steel by bushing it to the side ) doesnt work here, because rock is to hard so the bullet gets damaged, and also it isnt compressible so the material has nowhere to go.

[@billystink4611]

Forget Paul Harrell’s book bag, I’ll just throw one of these pavers in there and call it a day ;)

[@bobbaer869]

I would like to see you compare 12 ga.copper slugs against 12 ga. Lead slugs

1 paver each

[@Jerry-Parker]

Hold all the calls, we have a winner 🏆

[@RayBlackburn]

Drill a half inch hole in the middle of the paver set it out 100 yards and see if you can shoot a bullet thru the 1/2 inch hole without hitting the paver Runs to start investing in pavers LOL I guess I will have to try that also but I'm going to make sure I can do it before I ruin any of them trying

[@warblerblue]

3/8 inch group #100 yards.

[@paulcooper2897]

Might want to stretch that out to around 300 or 400 for the 22-250 to make it interesting.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

[@HobbitHomes263]

Unless the rounds were loaded eith greentips, this makes no sense. The 5.56 was designed to use the green tip to penetrate the Soviets new Kevlar helmets. Imagine what a greentip in a 22-250 might do? The 22-250 became popular because it extended the zero hold range for popular varmint targets not because nyone though penetration mattered. Ican tell you the a 75 grain spire point in a 22-250 will knock a 400lb mule deer at 300 yds/A 223 won;t do that

[@crazeddog]

How about 30-30, 223, 7.62 comparison on pavers

[@Imightberiding]

Not even close to a tie. The 22250 has far higher velocity & as a result far higher hydraulic pressure. In a soft tissue test like a ham, pork butt or turkey, the damage would be far more sever with the 22250. As for penetration, the 22250 almost knocked the second paver over & coated it with a thick static patch of dust.

[@joerico9461]

Cool video let us know what fps on each round, and the shooting of ur truck was awesome. Also hey to Paul Jr. he did a good job on the Ranger

[@scarmenl]

I took a lot of deer with a 22/250 when I was young. Kept meat in the freezer for three families.

[@johnganshow5536]

I wonder if the 223 with a FMJ bullet would go through 2 pavers...

[@brucecoleman7412]

Adam already did that, and it went through 1. Adam, correct me if I’m wrong, but the 338 Lapua and the 45-70 Extreme Penetrator went through 2, and the 50 BMG went through 3. Everything else stopped at 1. Tough stuff! Did I miss anything?

[@jeffreylocke8808]

The faster 22-250 terminally damaged the 55 grain bullet at the higher velocity and RPM's so it would not go any deeper. Only do greater damage to the paver when it hit. More than the slower 223 with the same type and weight bullet. Thanks for posting your video. How about the 500 S&W magnum and 454 Casull and 44 magnum in paper plates?

[@RalphReagan]

I don't remember did you do .45-70 versus paver?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Yup did that already few weeks ago

[@af7119]

time to get some .243 vs .25-06 against some pavers!

[@mikec536]

Can you do .270 next??

[@dalekidd420]

The limitation here is all about the projectile itself. That 55 gr. pill absolutely absolutely self-destructs against concrete at anything above a set velocity. More MASS is needed to defeat hard cover. This is why there are still so many old-school guys who continue to preach the superiority of 7.62 vs. 5.56 in the real world.

Like the experts say, "when in doubt send mass".

[@anderson9767]

I love both rounds, but I think .22-250 had a slight disadvantage being soft point in this video. Idk it’s just a thought but maybe it would’ve been different with a FMJ over the SP

[@7mm-08]

Want both

[@littlebittathisnthatfirear8048]

Not a fair test for either weapon or round. Js. Soft nose vs hard brittle target... Js js. No criticism just my thoughts thanks for the video tho. Its a good idea. Wish i had a 250. Theyre cool rounds

[@chrisdavey5530]

so whenever I try to explain to people how the size of the bullet isnt what matters the most, I use the 22-250 as an example cus most people think 22, tiny little round, yeah until you put the casing/powder of 30-06 behind it, then shes movin.

[@dougdownunder5622]

Watched 2 video Impression that projectiles need much more consideration. 1 vid used completely different bullets. Not a legit comparison.

[@pigtailbbq1982]

How many squirrels would they go through? The pet store might question your intentions but we need to know. I shoot hornady sx bullets in my 223 and the way they blow up I don't think they have much mass left after just one squirrel.🙀🙀🙀🙈

[@bigredc222]

I think one inch pavers would give better results, the two inch bring them to a screaming halt. Why are you shooting from a wobbly cinder block? If you need the height, get another block and put a board between them. Thanks for the video.

[@s.a-t9q]

You use a short-barreled and ineffective rifle with 223 caliber in all sections, as for the rest of the calibers, you use a strong and suitable rifle. I m required to change to another rifle worthy of strength, caliber 223, so that the comparison is correct To another worthy rifle of 223 caliber so that the comparison is fair

[@Lybarger12b]

It's not necessarily a good test because the 223 has a 16 inch barrel and the 22 250 have a 22-inch Barrel there for more velocity more penetration.

[@Surferjo]

Are you able to get any steel core bullets in any calibers to shoot your pavers milk jugs drywall mix drywall anything else?

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@WHOTEEWHO]

To me not really relevant... I try to make videos people can relate to. Use ammo people have

[@Surferjo]

@@WHOTEEWHO was wondering if they go threw more?

[@andreasschulz4086]

Those tests are senseless. The test medium is way to insensitive better scale it down. Like 1cm lime board's, paper or even meet. Your test is like: how many tanks my 223 bullet will piercing throw.

[@larrysayre824]

Next time use bolt action 223 loose part of power on blow back, also try putting blocks side to side like paper plates. Still hope you find job you love I am stuck in my job 39years no way out, one day it's going to be fuck you and out the door

[@MrJdebest]

A .22-250 is a lot more zing than the. 223 . 22-250 can go over 4000 fps . Really flat shooting. Compare the 2 by shooting gophers ! Or maybe cans of beans or ?

[@jasonsliger5430]

Idk, maybe if you had some 22-250 fmjs it'd make a difference? Cool video anyway, thanks and take care.

[@johnbud3809]

I bet if you were using 62 grain armor piercing it would have broke the second one probably but seems how you are you soft-tip yeah

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Love to see how both would do loaded with the 62grain green tip projectiles.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Me too

[@MrSuperchargeron]

Me three!! You can't get 22-250 in many flavors.. I think Hornady offers a 38 grain... But it would be nice to see it with something that could penetrate. Something solid moving at almost 4k fps.. that would really be something. Kind of like 22 pellets being shot from a 22 bolt action using Ramset loads. That is very impressive. Taofladermous did that. Really unexpected results

[@bngbraz2]

Didn't read all the comments, but we should all know that a soft-point up against that material would likely not pass through more than one or two. Try the steal core ammo next time...now that would be a great test.

[@darrenbrowell1713]

I would like to see both calibers in a distance drop test. how does a 223 compare to 22-250 in bullet drop say at 300 yards.

[@anthonykarch583]

How close was that? I'm just curious if it was at 100 or 150yds would the results be different

[@terryfalwell3896]

1000fps extra in 22.250 always wins. Put up against a .308 where it belongs.

I'd take the 22-250 any day. If the military was going to use a .22 bullet it should have been that one. Jmho

[@theorangevestarmy4255]

Semi auto vs. Bolt, semi auto is loosing some zip.. I think the results would be a bit closer to equal if both rounds were fired out of bolt action rifles ..

If you haven't done the paper plate challenge on the 22-250 you should do one but I would use the 35 grain bullet sense is the fastest

Here's something to think about. In karate tournaments we knew when breaking concrete that dry blocks broke easier. I wonder if it's as significant regarding bullets? Dry blocks vs wet ones.
