I love the Federal Terminal Ascent rounds they turn the 30-06 into a.300 Win Mag absolutely great rounds designed for getting it done at normal ranges and long ranges
Were these domestic or wild cinder blocks? I am planning a cinder block hunt, and it appears that either would be suitable rifles. I was hoping the Win Mag would shoot through more than one black, since wild cinder blocks often travel in packs.
Great Video! Personally, although the 300 win mag is great for a little longer distance, experience has shown me both the 30-06 and 300 win mag commonly shoot the same kill range in hunting (0-400 yards). There's just not enough difference for me to trade my 30-06 for a 300 win mag.
3006 is my main stay. 300 win mag sure has more destructive energy on impact. I unfortunately dont own one. I still love my 3006. And my 308 and....... Yes its love.
I love my 308 and just scored a rpr in 300, ammo is super cheap if you reload, took it out past a mile my first time shooting it super fun! Took it hunting and it did suck hiking around with a 20+lb rifle lol
Again, 300 win mag, not a lot of penetration, but just total obliteration! Man..powerful! Thanks for the video buddy!! Have a good weekend!! WHO TEE WHO!!!
I hit a doe with a 300 win mag at somewhere around 250 yards broadside, dust flew up on a hill behind her about another 200 yards away, she dropped immediately.
For this to be a valid test, you need to use 180 grain military solids in both cartridges. Another choice is 220 grain solids. In this sort of test, softs will break up in the first cinderblock as demonstrated in your own video.
It seems to me, that test was a great example of the Win Sup X controlled expansion. I have no experience with this bullet but it seems to me that it did what it is designed to do. It delivered its energy in the “cavity”.
400 yards and closer either one will get the job done. One downside is the winmag hits the shoulder with like 30 percent more recoil. Its a fine round but there’s just something special and iconic about the .30-06. Rifles can be more convenient in 30-06 Springfield because performance can be maximized in 22- to 24-inch barrels while the bigger magnums require longer, heavier barrels of 26- to 28-inches. The lighter recoil level of the -06 also means lighter weight rifles can be carried on tough hunts involving considerable hiking and climbing.and its why its the shooters choice in more guns. Its been around for years and its not really been supplanted by anything without introducing some negatives in the process.
Steel core 300 would probably go through all of the blocks. It's an absolute beast out to at least 1200 yards, but you need good rounds, a good rifle, an even better scope, solid calculation, and a LOT of practice. 300 winmag will SMOKE 30-06, hands down, all day, every day.
Do test with the heaviest bullet for each caliber. I think you restricted the performance of the 300 to make it a heads up test. I believe the 300 will really shine above the 30-06 if you take both to the limit of store bought ammo.
It's not velocity people. It's bullet construction that will get penetratiob ok ..you don't need 3000 + fps to get through more blocks just a more solid bullet like woodleigh . 2500 fps 240 grain woodleigh solids from an 06 alone will surprise everyone
@@tastethyboot Your wrong ...300 mag with a pooly constructed bullet won't out penetrwate a well constructed 30-06 Bullet They are both the exact same caliber .308
A quick guess, maybe same penetration but more explosive damage on the entrance hole with the Win Mag. I'll guess clean through block one, stopping before entering block two.
My ruger 350 legend will shoot around 1in all the ammo I've tested so far really happy, loving your testing you do for us keep up the great content will be watching.
In the slow video it looked like your round hit the top of the 3rd wall as it was skipping out, so I think if you had the second block stacked 2 high you would have recorded a hit on the second just at a different trajectory... Still nice and thanks. Was gonna get a 300 Win Mag but will stick to my 3006 (same difference less kick).
You should try to find some fmj's for the 300 win mag an 30-06 to help control the expansion better to see how far they can go next time. Powder puff with win mag lol. Gr8 vid.
I've had both I shoot a savage 110 30-06 now and honestly there isn't much difference. Both are VERY deadly and are almost caliber siblings so to speak. Love the Vida man keep em coming. I'd honestly love to see fully auto uzi vs mp40 holding 10 sec increments on trigger. That's hype lol
My opinion is the30/06 is the most all around caliber there is. Can load spitzers all the way up to over 200 grain, controllable, can find rounds anywhere, and most importantly it can take down any animal on this continent. Nothing wrong with .308 and .270 at all but my bias leans toward the 30/06.
Now if you did this test using the same Barnes X bullets, I bet that the penetration for both would go into the second cinder block. Concrete is too hard for a standard lead/copper bullet and simply falls apart, thus loosing all its energy.
Idea: Cement some blocks together to form a wall then shoot it from the side to see what would happen if you tried to shoot through the wall of a building .
Try some "ballistic" pasta. Needs to be kind of firm, not all mushy leave a little water in ... I see a big mess on the horizon. Which has more stopping power: macaroni, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, elbows, bow-ties... Make a 5 gal bucket from big box store and have at it . Could go full spectrum here with many cartridges; 30-06, 300WM, 45-70, 45ACP, .357..... you get the idea.
To compare true penetration you would need to use armor piercing rounds. The cinetic energy on the larger more powerful rounds does funny things to the structure of the bullet. There you go who 2 who hoo, think bro think.
I think it would be awesome to see, what the .300 win mag (or the whole line of high power rifles) does to a large flint stone. Do you have flint nearby? Mailing a box full of flint from Denmark to the US would be impractically expensive, but sort of worth it :)
Same thing as with the 308/30-06 test before: different cinder blocks with different wall thicknesses... Interesting though how even with the thinner wall, the 300wm did not outpenetrate the other cartridge
Man I'm a bricklayer and I'm tired of guys using block for ammo testing. They can be fragile until they're filled with rebar and concrete. Better test would be be plywood stacked.
I know this is old -- but, experimenting with handloading tells me one thing. If you can nail the perfect velocity for a specific type of round it will penetrate. If you are moving so fast, the energy is dumped. The thing about this test is that AT DISTANCE the 300 win will most likely out-penetrate. Essentially, as long as you are within velocity limits of proper terminal performance (usually said on the box, like Nosler Accubonds at 1800 fps) the bigger cartridge allows you to push the distance. The question is always by how much?! Could be 300 yards, could be 30 yards. For hunters, you have to ask yourself - is the recoil worth it if I'm hunting XYZ distance?
Hey bud I've been wanting to know the difference for a long time how big of a difference does the 300 win mag kick vs the 30-06. I've wanted a 300 my whole life and I can shoot 308 and 30-06 really well. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thanks. @WHOTEEWHO
I hope that you give the dust from the Cinder blocks time to dissipate before approaching the target blocks . Granted you are outdoors ( open air) which is a plus for your lungs . You might want to consider a dust mask on not too windy days.
wow that was impressive... that second one to me was a lot more shredded, 300 win mag !!! I have the same rifle as you in the 300 win mag, with cheaper blocks i did get two with the win mag and one with the 30.06, both rifles Remington 770 and I used core lokt 180 grain but again it was cheaper blocks, love your vids, keep them coming
With150gr 30 cal bullets the 3006 is 2850 FPS and win mag is 3200 FPS so it has a little more energy, 2400 vs. 2900 foot pounds so 300WM is about 20% stronger.
I have a .300 short mag. I have shot it about 10 times. In Kentucky I mostly hunt with the Marlin 30-30. It doesn't leave my shoulder sore! Lol I got a great deal on the win mag now I know why! If i ever run into a wooly mammoth I will get it out. Until then i will stick to the 30-30.
That was a good comparison using the same grain projectile. However the 300WM having that magnum load behind it caused much more lb ft of energy on impact. Try and increase the 300WM round to at least a 210gr round. One of my experiences in the 300 is lighter projectiles with that magnum load start to break down before impact. I've stepped my loads up to a 210 accubond load and noticed much more bone crushing power than the smaller 180 gr load.
I use 200 grain...read an article from a well versed gun specialist and he had tested all rounds for 300 WM and he came to conclusion 200 grain is the sweet spot for the 300? Since then there has been ALOT of Buller advancement however?
They're both a .30 The 300 just has a little more energy and I mean just a little. Read ballistic recordings on both. The only big significance between the two is price. The 300 cost about a buck more per round, and a good 300 vs a good 30/06 cost about 1500 more.
When I go cinder block hunting I will be sure to take the 300 mag. But for deer and elk I will take something else that will kill just as good without the recoil beating the snot out of me. Same goes for the 06. I'm old and paid my dues. You younger types can go ahead and shoulder a mule. Thanks very much for the vid.
Just wondering if you could do a video on 300 win mag soft point damage. On a pork shoulder or ballistic gel with ply wood in front. To show performance.
just out of curiosity,what barrel length were on both rifles..i would think,if the 300 win mag had a 26 inch barrel,like most model 70 Winchester come with standard,i bet the 300 win mag,would of breached the next block...some extra velocity might of helped..both those rifles,did not appear to have barrels longer than 22 inch..at least on the 3006...what length barrel did the 300 have on it?
If u split the first wall of a block it will surely split the other two as well.... Statics..... Just put up single walls not connected to each other to get a more expressive result... Nice vid! Love the 300wm!!
Good job on the comparison. But your previous videos showed 3006 blew that cinder block in pieces as well. You bet the 300 win mag got more bang but the 3006 is not far behind. Now compare that 300 win with a 7mm rem mag. Awesome videos by the way.
A 180 grain 7mm would have better sectional density than the 30 cal 180 grain, however the experiment was pointless without using armor piercing projectiles.
I'm planning to hunt elk in Oregon and was trying to decide which of these two I am going with. I think .300 mag but not just because of this test, but because it's flatter shooting
@Tracy D i thought the 220 grain bullet was only in 30-06? Unless you mean reloading. Then, yes you can void the manufacturer’s warranty and do as you please.
ill keep my golden bear 168s with the ol savage 110 3006 bolt its just too nice to replace and got er for $250 years ago... beautiful piece and packs a serious punch, if itll take a brown bear it will work on any deer or elk i would think, but that 300 is nasty boss, why not just get both lol
you need to buy a slip-on "Limbsaver" to put on that synthetic stock WinMag.....at least!..... maybe epoxy some mercury rods in the stock also to make it more comfortable to shoot....just a thought for you
The experiment was pointless because the projectiles were not up to the job. With armor piercing projectiles the win mag would have slightly outperformed the 30-06.
The 300 looked like some big invisible guy took his battle axe & split that block RIGHT IN HALF, BOOM. They are VERY BIG, HARD & HEAVY BLOCKS, YOU DID NOT CHEAP OUT SIR WHO, VERY NICE.
More proof of why the 300 Win Mag is overkill for ALL N/A game. For all the increased recoil, increased cost of Ammo and general decreased efficiency you get no practical use in it. I now know why a mid 80s production model 70 in Win Mag is still sitting on the used gun rack of my local gun shop.
I hope you rested that 300 mag . It looked to me like that bullet may have been going high when the first block exploded . I may be wrong but that's my thought watching the dust at the back of the block .
Maybe next time put empty bottles in the hollows of the cinder block. It is possible that the round only broke the first one and the shock broke the following walls of the block.
I love the Federal Terminal Ascent rounds they turn the 30-06 into a.300 Win Mag absolutely great rounds designed for getting it done at normal ranges and long ranges
Were these domestic or wild cinder blocks? I am planning a cinder block hunt, and it appears that either would be suitable rifles. I was hoping the Win Mag would shoot through more than one black, since wild cinder blocks often travel in packs.
Lmao
Free range.
Those were domestic blocks, wild blocks not only travel in herds but they attack when provoked
Must be a creedmoor guy
Don't use soft points to hunt hard blocks. 😀
Great Video! Personally, although the 300 win mag is great for a little longer distance, experience has shown me both the 30-06 and 300 win mag commonly shoot the same kill range in hunting (0-400 yards). There's just not enough difference for me to trade my 30-06 for a 300 win mag.
The 300 I believe has more ft lbs past 400 the win mag will win like hunting in Wyoming when you're gonna need the extra distance with the wind
Yeah i got a few boxes of that 30 06 m2 ap rounds thoses are fun to take out once in awhile
You must be from Alaska. And I agree. The only three rounds I like personally better than 30-06 are .45 ACP, Kasul, and Lapua.
Have both...300 WM!!! Distance thumper
30-06
210 grain nosler accubond LR bullet
With a Mv of 2575 fps yields 1400 ft lbs of energy at 700 yds
That's saying something
I've been considering buying a 300wm, and your video has convinced me. That energy dump was impressive. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching Justin! I love the 300wm!

It really punches

Same here 30-06 all the way and cheaper with almost the same result as the 300.
@@cedriccutler4098 yes, until you get past 250 yards then the 300 win mag is a very good choice but the 30-06 is by no means a bad gun

The energy was dumped entirely into the first block. You need to test a penetrator round.
Yup
Wow, that .300 winmag hit harder than a sledge hammer.
Sure did!
ooh, oooh, oooooh, oh, a thought came up: .300 win mag vs a sledge hammer :-D
Thomas Raahauge oh hell yeah, my money says that sledgehammer will go flying about 20 yards 😄
20 yards? Well, actually that wouldn't surprise me :-D
Alternatively, the fragments will be scattered across 20 by 20 yards.
Those super x rounds are junk too...i love my win mag
Obviously the .300 win mag is the more powerful round, but you can never go wrong with a 30-06

Cool video! Curious to see what FMJ version of these two rounds would do.

Many thanks from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 🍻
It'll be cool to see what the shots with the 30-06 fmj will do to something like those blocks.
Thats in the plans!!!
Dsdcain qqa
Dsdcain a fmj from a 30-06 would most likely penetrate minimum 2 full blocks and the 300 will do 1/4 more penetration with a fmj. That’s my estimate
Steel core, FMJ.
I didn’t realize it hit that much harder, thats insane.
It seems to me, that test was a great example of the Win Sup X controlled expansion. I have no experience with this bullet but it seems to me that it did what it is designed to do. It delivered its energy in the “cavity”.
👍👍
I love these old test you used to do. Bring back the Kool Jugs and Blocks😅
More soon
400 yards and closer either one will get the job done. One downside is the winmag hits the shoulder with like 30 percent more recoil. Its a fine round but there’s just something special and iconic about the .30-06.

Its been around for years and its not really been supplanted by anything without introducing some negatives in the process.
You hit the nail on the head there guy. I shoot Weatherby.300, until the yards start stretching the 06 has dropped everything I pointed it at.
From whitetail deer to Kodiak bears ' the 300 win mag is my choice. Very hard hitting . It's my all around caliber.
The 300 Win Mag has more punch for sure . Great test ! Have a great weekend ...
Thanks for watching! U have a great wknd too!!!
Good stuff. I would love to see you do this test again, with a steel core ammo. 300 win mag looks like a sledgehammer.
Steel core 300 would probably go through all of the blocks. It's an absolute beast out to at least 1200 yards, but you need good rounds, a good rifle, an even better scope, solid calculation, and a LOT of practice. 300 winmag will SMOKE 30-06, hands down, all day, every day.

Do test with the heaviest bullet for each caliber. I think you restricted the performance of the 300 to make it a heads up test. I believe the 300 will really shine above the 30-06 if you take both to the limit of store bought ammo.
yes, do a 180gr 300 mag traveling at 3006 150gr velocities. Says it all 8)
do a 200gr from each ?
It's not velocity people.
It's bullet construction that will get penetratiob ok ..you don't need 3000 + fps to get through more blocks just a more solid bullet like woodleigh .

Similar to yesterday's water jug video. The 300 Win Mag really blows apart the objects it hits but doesn't penetrate any further than lesser rounds.

Need at least 190 Grains. 200 Gr. is where the WM really comes into its own. Also, choose quality bonded bullets or solids built for penetration.
With150gr 30 cal bullets the 3006 is 2850 FPS and win mag is 3200 FPS so it has a little more energy, 2400 vs. 2900 foot pounds so 300WM is about 20% stronger.
I have a .300 short mag. I have shot it about 10 times. In Kentucky I mostly hunt with the Marlin 30-30. It doesn't leave my shoulder sore! Lol I got a great deal on the win mag now I know why! If i ever run into a wooly mammoth I will get it out. Until then i will stick to the 30-30.

just out of curiosity,what barrel length were on both rifles..i would think,if the 300 win mag had a 26 inch barrel,like most model 70 Winchester come with standard,i bet the 300 win mag,would of breached the next block...some extra velocity might of helped..both those rifles,did not appear to have barrels longer than 22 inch..at least on the 3006...what length barrel did the 300 have on it?
If u split the first wall of a block it will surely split the other two as well.... Statics.....
Just put up single walls not connected to each other to get a more expressive result...
Nice vid! Love the 300wm!!
I love it too! Thanks for watching!
Good job on the comparison. But your previous videos showed 3006 blew that cinder block in pieces as well. You bet the 300 win mag got more bang but the 3006 is not far behind. Now compare that 300 win with a 7mm rem mag. Awesome videos by the way.
Good idea. Thanks for watching Alex!
A 180 grain 7mm would have better sectional density than the 30 cal 180 grain, however the experiment was pointless without using armor piercing projectiles.
I'm planning to hunt elk in Oregon and was trying to decide which of these two I am going with. I think .300 mag but not just because of this test, but because it's flatter shooting
I actually think the opposite is true. 7mm mag is flatter
@@WHOTEEWHO I meant 300 win mag if flatter shooting than 30-06
@@WHOTEEWHO For big elk, I'm not sure about 7mm mag.
I had to revisit this. I still want a 300 mag, but the 3006 has so many different loads...
@Tracy D i thought the 220 grain bullet was only in 30-06? Unless you mean reloading. Then, yes you can void the manufacturer’s warranty and do as you please.
Gotta get a. 300 Win mag! Thanks
Love the 300!!
If you can get one try a 35 whelen against that 300wm you will be amazed at the energy dump of the 35.
Thanks Dan
ill keep my golden bear 168s with the ol savage 110 3006 bolt its just too nice to replace and got er for $250 years ago... beautiful piece and packs a serious punch, if itll take a brown bear it will work on any deer or elk i would think, but that 300 is nasty boss, why not just get both lol
You try this with the copper bullets?😊
you need to buy a slip-on "Limbsaver" to put on that synthetic stock WinMag.....at least!..... maybe epoxy some mercury rods in the stock also to make it more comfortable to shoot....just a thought for you
Thanks Jay
Big blocks for big bing bangs!!!
Major deposit of energy in the 300 win mag and that is what brings down game Pure shocking power!!!
💪💪
The experiment was pointless because the projectiles were not up to the job. With armor piercing projectiles the win mag would have slightly outperformed the 30-06.
The 300 looked like some big invisible guy took his battle axe & split that block RIGHT IN HALF, BOOM. They are VERY BIG, HARD & HEAVY BLOCKS, YOU DID NOT CHEAP OUT SIR WHO, VERY NICE.
Thanks for watching! I like the BIG BLOCK videos
Very interesting, thank you 👌
Great video. Damn that 300 win mag is stout.
Thanks Sonny! Sure is!
Again..... separate the blocks more so you don't have 2 walls 1" from each other
Use barnes ttsx ammo in 300wm and 30/06
When you need to demo a cinder block wall use 300 Win Mag!
💪💪absolutely
I think it's going to take one of those fancy .45-70 copper bullets to get into the next block
I think u are right
Nice testing as always fun....Good stuff...
Thanks for watching Scott
Dang I need to build a house with them cinder blocks.
You could! Stout blocks!
Then fill them in with a rebar and concrete mixture.
Thatoneguy overthere bed rock flinstones.
Who_tee_who I would love to see more of the 300wsm
More proof of why the 300 Win Mag is overkill for ALL N/A game. For all the increased recoil, increased cost of Ammo and general decreased efficiency you get no practical use in it. I now know why a mid 80s production model 70 in Win Mag is still sitting on the used gun rack of my local gun shop.
try hornaday superformance vs cheap ammo, 165 grain 30 06 superformance deliver 3210 ft lbs of energy, that like 200 more than normal,
my .300win mag at 150 makes 3700lb of energy
Shewee!
I hope you rested that 300 mag . It looked to me like that bullet may have been going high when the first block exploded . I may be wrong but that's my thought watching the dust at the back of the block .
Rested?
Retested . Shew
Interesting, I wonder how a hornady 30-06 superperformance will do against stock 300 wm.
Nice video. Love it. Good as always
Thanks!
WHO_TEE_WHO how has it been goin
Always good
WHO_TEE_WHO that’s great
Maybe next time put empty bottles in the hollows of the cinder block. It is possible that the round only broke the first one and the shock broke the following walls of the block.
Good idea
Yeah, woiuld be a better test if the blobks were filled first...or for lack of better, would it go into a foundation wall.
