I have a 220 swift, Winchester Model 70. A shooter friend of mine has a 22-250. We went prairie dog hunting and the dogs looked a lot like your clay blocks when we hit them.
@@michaellane1661 hey bud, didn’t see this till the morning. Thank you and have a great weekend. Gods speed and good shooting to ya and your family 👍🇺🇸
I put multiple white tail down with the 22-250 already. One 50 grain shot in the neck right behind the head, they dropped on the spot. Very humane, very clean, minimal meat damage
Nice to see lighter bullets available for 22-250. Typically were heavier bullets...55 grains or so. The 204 matched the velocity and characteristics with lighter bullet and powder load, which was great for varmints. Barrel doesn't heat up as much, shots stay consistent. I've shot both, but I love the 204 for all day shooting. Savage 12FV.
Clay may not be ballistics gel.... but the "wow factor" that comes with watching clay blocks with smiley faces explode in all sorts of distorted ways really leaves me with an awesome satisfaction. Keep up the great content!
I really need to bring my 220 swift down there it seems. Then you can try it against the 22-250. I have a 22-250 as well as my 220 swift, but I shoot the swift more.
The 220 has been a favorite caliber of mine and It would have been interesting to compare. No prob not much more velocity, the 22 -250 sends heavier bullets at sizzling speeds. 204 Ruger awesome round also. I like them all.
That was not what I expected at all I expected both of them to fly right through and just leave a big exit hole that was pretty amazing especially the side by side very cool good editing great job.
Wow, of the two cartridges I have the 22-250. It's a favorite round for predators and you've helped confirmed that. Having said that, the .204 Ruger is no slouch. I had no idea how devastating they can be.
I’m a bit late to the party here, but I believe the ‘splody bits were due to the type of projectile these had. Being varmint rounds, they’re designed to ‘splode on impact. I’d love to see this test again with FMJs for both rounds (if you can find them). Maybe even let .223/5.56 join in on the fun. Love your videos, appreciate all your hard work. Keep bringin’ all the zoomies and throwin’ those boo-lats down range with the bing bangs and we’ll keep tunin’ in. Whooteewhoo!!!
If you compare the displacement from impact point i believe they are more even than you all are giving credit the .22,250 hit way lower allowing it to displace more clay if the .22,250 hit centre mass like the .204 did I believe results would be more alike
First deer rifle was a Remington CDL in 22-250. For Texas hill country white tail it was phenomenal. Super accurate out 400+ yards. The .22 with the most giddy up.
I did not expect that amount of stopping power behind those rounds. I know the 22-250 is a great Coyote round but now I see it’s potential use for other game. Great video.
After seeing this, I believe it. I was one of those that thought .243 was the lightest caliber you could ethically hunt deer with. I had heard so many complaints about a lack of blood trail from the 243,(poor shot placement I guess) I kinda lean to heavier, slower calibers myself.
@@warrenlathrop6296,and C Kim, please don’t think I was trashing on 243, I was not. Merely saying, I have heard so many complaints, its too light, it does not leave a blood trail. This display has changed my understanding. I have more experience hunting in “shotgun/ML” only area, till I moved here. I lost space for reloading, when I did.
Something IMPORTANT.. I am a ceramic artist and have been working with clay since 1980. Clay tends to dry out fairly quickly especially on hotter days in the sun. If a piece of clay sits out for even just a few min is dose start to stiffen which could change the effects and outcome. I'm not sure how much set up time there is between shots, but it can effect it. Just trying to help.
I learned how the 22-250 kills all out of proportion compared to the ballistic stats the moment I got mine 20 years ago. A lot of speed with just enough bullet to make stuff happen. Remember, the speed component in the energy formula is a non-linear squared function while the mass is a linear function.
With all them clay block videos you did it seem like velocity was King. So I'm looking forward to seeing how one of these hyper velocity rounds do against it.
I think a combination of velocity and bullet diameter would be the best for making clay blocks explode. Imagine Liberty Civil Defense made a 150 grain 12 gauge slug travelling at 3000 fps. That would vaporize the clay blocks into fine particles.
Wow that was not what i expected. I thought they both would stop the bullet in the clay! WOW I AM IMPRESSED! I have a .22-250 axis II and it is the most acurate rifle i own. GREAT VIDEO, THANKS
Here in Ireland back in the 70s and 80s we weren't allowed anything bigger than 22-250, lots of red deer were killed with neck shots ( irish red deer would be just a bit bigger than your American whitetail deer) but nowadays we're allowed bigger calibres thankfully. The 22-250 punches well above its weight thanks to its super high velocity.
Very cool. If I were a rich man, I'd travel the world hunting every game animal I could. I'd probably use calibers that would raise eye brows and hurt the fragile feelings of many American hunters 😂.
Whotee i have a .17 remington its a blast to shoot breaks the sound barrier 5 times before it leaps out of the barrel nothing survives it suppressor required i also have my 22.250 love it thanks for the video as always
I've also wondered what sort of velocities and penetration power you would get if you necked down a .50BMG to take a 35 grain 22-250 round. Has anyone ever done something like that on YT?
On a gun-forum, one of the members claims to have fired 308 bullets out of a 50 BMG using sabots to seat the smaller, 30-caliber bullet. He said that it's not much fun to shoot for two reasons: 1) you have to remove the muzzle-brake, or the sabot will do it for you. This makes the recoil noticeably heavier. He said he got around that by shooting prone, and laying a 20-pound sand-bag against his shoulder and having the butt-stock press up against that. It worked, but he said it wasn't fun. 2) he said it's not that accurate, and only got 2-3 MOA at best. - All that said, he claimed to have gotten 5K FPS with a 30-caliber projectile. He said that he shot a coyote with it and there was nothing left but blood, hair, and teeth.
I love watching you test various calibers in the clay! My last varmint gun setup was a 264 Win Mag with a 200 gr Hollow Point. It was primarly used at 400 yards minimum, and on out to700 yards. I'd like to see that load, or any anyload, hit one of those blocks -- it might split your table!!
Despite my love of hand-cannons, I have been really curious about the .204 Ruger for fun plinking with light recoil. Very cool video, as always! And just an FYI, I finally got my clay block video up with the .50 AE, .500 S&W Magnum, & .460 S&W Magnum. I hope I did you proud!
Wow, I did not expect those results, respect to both those calibers! I too thought they might just get caught up in the back of the blocks, or maybe just run thru, being a hundred yards they were explosive! Again , WOW very impressive. More than I expected, velocity huh?
Yay more clay blocks! And in fun calibers! I almost bought an American in .204, but I got the 450 Bushmaster instead,because the shop had ammo for that. I just sent my American .308 back to the factory because it won’t extract rounds now, so hopefully nothing major wrong with it
I think both those bullets exploded inside those blocks. Typically those rounds (especially the v-max) have a very thin jacket at the nose which causes them to instantly rupture on impact at those speeds. That's why they are so good at blowing prarrydogs apart.
My sister just took a white tail buck with a 204 at 140 yards. Took about 3 minutes to find him. Punched thru one side and bounced off the ribs on the other side. I was actually quite impressed with the round.
I have a Thompson Center Icon precision hunter in 204ruger. its a great little set up. Used it on invasive california ground squirrels and blows em in half at 100 yards.
Honestly I’m in the market for a Ruger 204 !! My brother has one for varmint and it has never let anyone that has shot it at anything always a clean kill !! This seals the deal for me !!
Man you cant beat that old 22- 250 it just blew the clay block to pieces, its a good all round riffle we have 22 - 250 on the farm they are just a great rifle , the 204 is just not in the same street, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
I have a savage axis 22-250 and it is awesome. I take cyote at 300 yrds easy i want to get a Howa 22-250 with a threaded barrel so i can put a shoosher on it. Great vid.
That was truly awesome. The 204 removed the threat..the 22-250 removed the fingerprints. Wow
I have a 220 swift, Winchester Model 70. A shooter friend of mine has a 22-250. We went prairie dog hunting and the dogs looked a lot like your clay blocks when we hit them.
Wheres the .223WSSM guys?
I've dropped MANY deer with the 22 250. Not one has gone more then 20 yards. One of my all time favorite calibers
Iam going to start looking at pawnshops for a 22-250 looking for a good deal at a pawnshop what would you suggest i look for
Awesome! Which bullet weight?.. 55 grain?
Also, have you taken many hogs with it?
Done the same with 22 wmr.
@@edwardkesock216 Savage
Same. My deer rifle of choice is 22-250 shooting 55 or 62 gr.
A lot of boogie, splody bits, and all the zooms in this really fun video. Thanks Who for all the good things you do. Gods speed to WTW and family. 👍🇺🇸
Yes!!! Hey Joel!
Good evening Joel. Hope you and your family have a great weekend my friend. 🤘🏽🍻🇺🇸👊🏽

I got something to say about the "Crocks"....but this is a family channel......love it.
I said it for you.
I was thinking the same lmao!!!
I put multiple white tail down with the 22-250 already. One 50 grain shot in the neck right behind the head, they dropped on the spot. Very humane, very clean, minimal meat damage
Put the playback speed to .25 when it come to the slow motion impact I’ve been doing that for a while now it looks pretty awesome
Cool, thanks! Too bad it makes WTW sound like he's hi! 😎

SPLOTTERY is the new POTTERY. The clay was laid to rest centuries ago only to be laid to rest again. :) LOL
I figured the 22-250 would win but the 204 Ruger surprised me for sure.
204 is one mean little cartridge
204 is a laser beam
My thoughts exactly.
204 all day long for me. I love being able to watch bullet impact through the scope due to its low recoil. Much better for doing your own spotting
I shot a beaver at 250 yards, watch it go down in the scope!
Can easily watch bullet in flight with the 22-250 In many manufacturers
That 204 has impressive results.
I really need to bring my 220 swift down there it seems. Then you can try it against the 22-250. I have a 22-250 as well as my 220 swift, but I shoot the swift more.
Massive destruction with the .22-250. That was a real fun video
Would have been fun to see the .220 Swift involved - probably would have been no sign that a clay block had even existed in the same zip code.
Because the velocity is marginally higher? Doubt a significant difference
The 220 has been a favorite caliber of mine and It would have been interesting to compare. No prob not much more velocity, the 22 -250 sends heavier bullets at sizzling speeds. 204 Ruger awesome round also. I like them all.

Great demo, and the ammo was a fair comp. Both rounds are good for practical hunting, for sure! Thanks again for sharing.
I’m gonna give a slight edge to the 22-250, but both of these rounds are zipping man, so we will see!🤔
I have used 22-250 to take doe deer with and this has given me a whole new appreciation of that round
I can't wait till someone builds a .22-250 magnum.
They do. Swift, Weatherby, and WSSM
.300 RUM/.220 Super
That 22-250 is an amazing caliber, I had no idea it was so awesome!
Would like to see what the 204 v 22-250 long range is like ie. Over 400 meters. Now that would be a fun video.
Wow, of the two cartridges I have the 22-250. It's a favorite round for predators and you've helped confirmed that. Having said that, the .204 Ruger is no slouch. I had no idea how devastating they can be.
Both are devastating rounds but the .22-250 has the edge in my opinion. 👍🏻

Stinks i missed the premiere, but i am excited about this one and seeing all the splody bits!! Love the clay blocks!!
Just what I thought would happen. The 22-250 is an excellent low recoil round !
REALLY LIKED THAT SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON, IT WAS AWESOME.
The 22-250 is amazing on deer using the 60gr. Nosler partition.
Spot on! You'd swear looking at damage that you're using bigger caliber...but your not!!😉 NP are nasty bullets!
If you compare the displacement from impact point i believe they are more even than you all are giving credit the .22,250 hit way lower allowing it to displace more clay if the .22,250 hit centre mass like the .204 did I believe results would be more alike

The .22 with the most giddy up.
At those speeds I would be really surprised if either boolot stayed in the clay
I love that clay test, I think the 22 250 won that round. Here in Alabama you can hunt with any center fired mushroom in ammo
I did not expect that amount of stopping power behind those rounds. I know the 22-250 is a great Coyote round but now I see it’s potential use for other game. Great video.
Thanks for watching Justin!
Aint nothin wrong with that 204 Ruger. It did awesome, But That 22-250 just has a little more.
Them seemed to do more damage than some of the bigger rifles. Speed kills.
I have owned a few different 22/250 s everyone never ceased to amaze me
I've seen what a 22 250 can do to a deer at around 105 to120 yards. I was amazed. The deer dropped before I heard the shot.
After seeing this, I believe it. I was one of those that thought .243 was the lightest caliber you could ethically hunt deer with. I had heard so many complaints about a lack of blood trail from the 243,(poor shot placement I guess) I kinda lean to heavier, slower calibers myself.

Another great video. Got to love the exploding bits. Those two calibers are no joke fast fast bullets.
I'd like to see how many clay blocks a round could go through.
Great idea!
Not with V-max bullets! They're meant to, for lack of a better word...explode...create a huge wound cavity, not penetration.

Awesome! That’s a hell of a physics lesson there.
Impressive! I would’ve thought the clay would’ve stopped the bullet also.

22-250 personal favourite
I absolutely love my 22-250!! That being said this video was very impressive. Great job keep them coming
The lighter bullets in the 22-250 smacked the clay harder this time than when you were using heavier bullets in the comparison between 22-250 and 243.
My bad - the other video was using 25 lb clay blocks.
This should be interesting

204 for prairie dogs works great. Light recoil lets you see the hits and its very accurate at 300+ yards. Wind deflection with 40gr ammo is low.
The .204 is my favorite woodchuck round, it does the same thing to chucks as it did to those clay blocks👍👍.

When it comes to cross winds at distance I ve heard the 204 ruger will drift .But the 22-250 will buck the wind better.

Thanks for watching!
@@WHOTEEWHO Glad to do it.
I believe the boggie sauce did a number on that clay block!!! I've got to get me one of those CVA bing bangs!!!!!!
Yep, those will tell a coyote to lay down with no argument, not even a bark!
22-250 is one of my favorite cartridges.
Would love to see a clay block video of 204 ruger vs 223 or 20 practical
Wow, I did not expect those results, respect to both those calibers! I too thought they might just get caught up in the back of the blocks, or maybe just run thru, being a hundred yards they were explosive! Again , WOW very impressive. More than I expected, velocity huh?
Now we need to see milk jugs and paper plates in both calibers and both weights with the 204.
Plus the heavy weight with the 204 and 22 250 on clay.
Awesome! I only wish I could have caught it live. Will be out of pocket until at least Sunday. I give the nod to the 22-250.
I like the wide varieties of calibers and guns you test. Great work
That cascade is an awesome rifle man. Love everything about that one. The 22-250 is next up on the list of guns to get.

I almost bought an American in .204, but I got the 450 Bushmaster instead,because the shop had ammo for that.
I just sent my American .308 back to the factory because it won’t extract rounds now, so hopefully nothing major wrong with it
Daggumit
Wow!😮 I did not expect that!!! Clay exploded in 204. Just bought that exact rifle. It was on sale because Gen 2 is out.😊
Love the Clay Block videos no matter what calibre
I think both those bullets exploded inside those blocks. Typically those rounds (especially the v-max) have a very thin jacket at the nose which causes them to instantly rupture on impact at those speeds. That's why they are so good at blowing prarrydogs apart.
That was exactly what I expected. 22-250 lots of buggy!!!
Love it! Rocking the hi- point shirt😂
If i could only have one bolt action, this might be one of them. Lol
My sister just took a white tail buck with a 204 at 140 yards. Took about 3 minutes to find him. Punched thru one side and bounced off the ribs on the other side. I was actually quite impressed with the round.
