- Using both the Ruger 10/22 and Savage Rascal to see if a 22lr has enough power to go through a cow leg bones. Using CCI Mini Mags, CCI Stingers and Federal Punch.
The water bottle was shot with the Federal Punch. Still learning how to edit videos and maintain video quality, my son has been helping!!

As with many experiments one can find faults or ways to improve upon them. These cow bones were of an unknown age. My best guess is that they had been there for about a year. Would the results be different if the bones were fresh from a butcher shop?! Maybe a follow up video is in order to further test the efficacy of the .22lr.
Im surprised of how well it did. I know 22Lr is an underrated cal and people like to talk bad about its performance, but this really highlights how good of a caliber it really is. Thank you for sharing
@@jonrastafari5771 no problem. That is why I started experimenting with the .22. It obviously has limitations, but it can be deadly serious.
Still interesting. Love this kind of stuff, especially these small calibers.
useful video, thanks, subscribed. your accent and rifle only test made me guess canada, eh. i often carry a ruger sr22 pistol loaded with cci minimag ammo. after many 1000s of rounds i have become accurate and confident enough to carry it for protection. at us$5/50 cci minimags satisfy my value/effectiveness/reliability/accuracy equation. best wishes to all who live in true north canada.
It will really depend on the age/condition of the bone. Very old & dry bones are easier to penetrate. Freshly processed bones will be more tough
I agree. I will have to seek out some fresh bones to try out.
I've never hunted cow bones. Wonder what they taste like?
Chicken!! 😉
I thought you might find this interesting. Let me know if I made it easy enough for most people to understand. It is some conclusions and thoughts from scientific testing of ammunition in gelatin and bone.
.44 magnum hollow-points can achieve remote fractures in bone. The military rifle rounds tested, green tip 5.56 and 7.62x39 steel core did do this. Remote fractures is when the temporary cavity flexes the gelatin or flesh to the degree that the bullet breaks at the weakest point. Since the weakest point of bone has no connection to the location of impact, remote fracture is an appropriate name.
Remote bone fracture does not happen every time though and when it does happen, it's not because the rounds that were fired were particularly powerful either. It's simply that there's a chance that it will happen with specific ammunition.
Of the rounds tested, the .44 magnum hollow points and the green tip 5.56 rounds gave indirect fractures. Aka, the force of the bullet impacting and flexing the gelatin indirectly broke the bone always on the opposite side of the bullet's impact. Neither the 7.62x39 FMJ nor the 9mm FMJ achieved these indirect fractures.
People always comment about rifles are better than handguns because of their greater power. They will also say that if they're going to a serious fight they're going to bring a rifle instead of a handgun.
But no one mentions that the standard kinds of rifle ammunition that people are using in war are not causing remote bone fractures as common civilian .44 mag ammunition is.
“Fracture was produced in 13 of these samples, 5 by the 5.56 × 45 mm and 8 by the .44 in.. No fracture was produced by the 7.62 × 39 mm or 9 × 19 mm. Two of the fractures represented a remote ballistic fracture, both of which were produced by the .44 in. shot 3 cm off the medial cortex of the bone.”
“The difference, therefore, between remote ballistic fractures and indirect fractures is that remote fractures occur through the weakest part of the bone, whereas indirect fractures occur directly opposite the bullet tract.”
“The pre-impact velocity of the .44 in. bullets was 487 m/s (range 480-494 m/s), with energy transfer to the gel, seen in the remote fractures, of 1,723 and 1,477 J for the rectangular and thigh moulds, respectively. This was not significantly different from the other .44 in. gunshot samples (1,477-1,723 J) or the 5.56 × 45mm samples (1,307-1,874 J).

Even fresh cow bones will react the same. I set up the same experiment years ago with my 22ar, and was impressed by the amount of damage it dirt to the cow bones. Didn't try a 22 handgun, but am now curious howthe bone would stand up to less muzzle velocity. I'm a believer that a 22 could do more damage than one might think! Especially if someone was to receive multiple 22 strikes. Might not be insta-kill, but definitely out of the fight!
@@jerodgriffith337 or wishing they had never got into a fight!
Yep, there are a lot of people who have a grave misconception of the potential a .22lr possesses. I have had people say that a .22 would only piss them off. That is in part why I enjoy experimenting in these videos.
this is pretty good tho there was a fellow over in the UK that used fox heads some years ago comparing .22 LR to pellet guns but he used the whole head If memory serves
Not sure if you saw the video I posted recently where I used a deer skull wrapped in bologna.
For some reason I can't see the comment I made. So I'll have to make another one.
I wanted to also ask if you could put a piece of meat in front of that shoulder bone to see if that makes a difference. Possibly the force of the hollowpoint or soft point against the meat will slow down the bullet enough and expand it enough that it may break the shoulder where it wouldn't have before.
I have had problem seeing my own comments. Who knows, maybe it had to do with me being in Canada. Lol Our government has made some stupid censorship laws lately.
Anyways, yes that is a good idea. I have some more ideas I want to try as well. Ballistic gel looks cool but I want to use meat/muscle, and real bone. It could get pricey though(don’t tell my wife, lol). I did just do a video showing the damage to the inside of a coyote as well.
@@ironbludI have trouble seeing comments sometimes and I'm in America. I believe it has do to with some sort of automatic censorship feature that youtube has.
I'll stay tuned and subscribe then!😁
@@infogunvault6920thanks for the sub. I will do my best to create some material worth watching.
They will blow holes
Why no CCI velocitor?
Couldn’t find any at my local gun stores. If I can find some I will add them to my test collection.
I have used them before, but they were not nearly as accurate as the Mini Mags.
