A 300 plus yard test is critical, not easy to do, but critical. Thousands of shooters have done 100 yard tests, which is great, but we're not learning anything new from those tests. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what The Social Regressive channel is doing and I know, it's real work. But... if you want to stand out in the RUclips world, try making 308 Win videos, at 300 yards and more. There is a real shortage of this kind of content. Cheers
I bought these in .270 for an elk hunt. Didn’t shoot an elk, but performed great on whitetail. 0 jacket separation at close range, just what I’m looking for in a premium bonded bullet.
Federal did a limited run with this bullet in the 270wsm in a 136gr bullet at 3200fps. I bought a number of boxes at the time. It's extremely accurate and devastating on deer.
@The Social Regressive yeah I've been eyeballing some 308 and 300wm... I've got a couple different types of quality 308 and I've got some federal gold swift Sirocco in 300wm so I'm not n a hurry to blow money but it's always good to have quality ammo laying about
I've loaded up some Federal Trophy Bonded Tip weighing 140 grains for my 7mm-08 that groupe pretty good. I"m still sitting on some 160 grain ones. I have a load that groups really well at 2535 fps but I'm waiting on another powder to see if I can find more velocity. I'm looking for some StaBALL 6.5 for that. BUT... your video has me thinking maybe I shouldn't wait. My test group for the 160's was about a half inch. Almost too good to pass on it. But this is supposed to be my new moose load so I really don't need such an accurate load. A moose vital is still pretty big at 300 yards which would be my maximum range anyway. Maybe you could try some TBT's in your 7mm-08?
So I have the federal premium 136gr terminal ascent for my 270 win. I'm looking forward to shooting a deer with it. I have high hopes for it. I did take a deer with my 270 150gr federal fusion and man did it work beautifully. Ran 30 yards with no heart and a massive blood trail. Hit so hard it separated the ribs from the sternum.
Terminal Assent bullets I believe are the best al all around high velocity / low velocity bullet made. Now making them shoot tight groups accurately is the main issue. Kinda love/hate problem.
Very nice. If I may critique something. Your stock is a bit low in your shoulder, it looks like it’s under your collar bone. If you get it higher, you can probably shrink that vertical spread a bit.
nice grouping on the target was that at 100y ? i didnt hear you mention the distance ' the video started out very clear and quickly go's blurred i thought it was my end but its in the vid
@@SocialRegressive I have one and I am currently working on recoil management. it does kick like a magnum. But I like the performance specs on this and it may become my favorite all-around hunting rifle, next to my TC Compass II .380 W. I usually hunt in northeast Texas on public land where the longest distance I have ranged is 225 yards. But most shots in the woods are 70 - 100 yards. But I may eventually get to hunt Mule Deer in west Texas or even west Oklahoma, though that does involve getting an out-of-state license, etcetera. Do you have a drawing system there for mule deer? In Texas, the TPWD has a drawing system and you enter but not always win. For example, for years, I was entering for a gun doe hunt on a certain property and only won this last season. Normally, that property, you can only hunt doe with archery during archery season.
Is it just me? Did anyone see something drop vertically under the front of the table at 2:53 in the timeline. I don't know how it would have gotten there. Looks like a barely mushroomed bullet.
I'm curious what your overall cartridge length is with that bullet, more so that it will fit in a magazine? Thanks for the perfect timing as I just got a 308 rifle.

What's your go-to .308 hunting bullet?
The Sierra 150 gr. spitzer for whitetail deer.
Barnes ttsx 168gr under 300 yards.
Buffalo Bore .308 150 grain ttsx. Supercharged. Getting about 2850 fps out of 18" barrel.
My goto for my 308 hunting needs is the 150 grain hornady sst.
Ho Lee Chit Miss Molly. That is awesome.
I would love to see a 300 yard gel test with a 308 using this bullet.

@@EdAb Agree. Plust I'm shooting closer targets from a 16" bbl, so the 300 yd or 100 out of a 16" would be great info.
All the new calibers, old calibers re-invented, etc...I still love .308 Win
It's still completely relevant today.
I'd love to see some of the hornady 165gr cx bullets in your tests
Terminal ascent are flat awesome bullets second to NONE!

No complaints. Thanks. It's always nice to recover a bullet. That's the main prize. Bullets don't always cooperate.

Got a 7x5 mule deer that's on the wall think he'd say the 175s do a pretty good job
I hunted with these this year and they did great … but I didn’t kill a big deer only 100lb does that a .22 mag would have done the job on 😂
😂 But she got the royal treatment.
I'd love to see how the new Winchester solid copper rounds work
I have some for .243 Win. I've been meaning to test those.

Hot dang. 270 rocks.
So far I am absolutely love 270. It also looks beautiful in that boyds heritage stock in forest camo and a midnight bronze cerakote.
@John Gallagher Thanks for the info. I'll save em for bigger tougher animals. I'll stick with something lighter and softer for these deer around here
Another great video. I can't believe you didn't give a shout out to the 30.06
My bad!
Darn nice video. I suspect the gyrations of the gel at impact may have some effect on tracking. Keep 'em coming.
Terminal Assent bullets I believe are the best al all around high velocity / low velocity bullet made. Now making them shoot tight groups accurately is the main issue. Kinda love/hate problem.
Love all of your gel tests
Thanks, Chad!
Great video Kyle. But from all of it, my main take away is - how the hell do you make your left index finger do that???
They all do that. It's my super power. 🤫
Too bad love to see what that bullet looks like. Good testing 👍
That’s the type of bullet I get for my 270 Winchester magnum; wow is that thing accurate.
When I saw the gun at first I thought it was my 375 Ruger
Great video wow those are expensive. Can you get ahold of the Remington Premier Long Range in 30.06 when they come out?
Timerlal assent is the old trophy bonded bear claw probably the best of both worlds
Good performance. Saw this performance two decades ago. Looks like all the Barnes X bullet patents expired.
Now, this is my kind of Video. I am a rifle and ballistic's head. P. S. I wonder how these bullets would do in your awesome 7 mm 08.
.586 G1 BC. 😍
How come you don't hit it in the middle so we could see what is left?
You can't expect me to make a decision on this one.
Random brass is a huge variable.
Very nice.

That was 100 yards. I wonder what's up with the video. Was it during the accuracy portion?
From a minute or two into the vid go’s blurry then at the very end come crystal clear
I would like to see gel test with 7 mm PRC 175 gr Precision Hunter.
That's the magnum I have my eye on. I would LOVE to see what it can do.

I haven't looked up how it works. That would be a fun hunt, though. I entered the lottery for elk, but we probably have only one specimen. 😂

That was a screw getting blasted off the table's frame. Those were some hard hits.
What's the expansion threshold? Why even recommend them for 300BK.
It would be a terrible idea and super expensive. But it would still work ok. These are designed to expand a bit at low velocities.
It kinda looked like shooting the noslers in this video the tip is white unless im mistaken
It looked like you grabbed the noslers and not the federal lol
👍👍👍
Federal Fusion 165gr.
Can't complain about that.
Looks like alot of fragments
I'm curious what your overall cartridge length is with that bullet, more so that it will fit in a magazine? Thanks for the perfect timing as I just got a 308 rifle.
Where did you find them???
I was hoping this was a factory load
I'm using thick 7.62x51mm brass, so the factory load should be even more effective.
Anyone else notice the finger or was that just me
