350 Legend vs 7.62x39: Not Even Close On Barriers?

Ойын-сауық

On this episode of Ultimate Barrier Testing, we will be comparing the performance of the 7.62x39 to the 350 Legend on 4 different targets. Each target is worth 25 points, for a grand total of 100 points. Whichever cartridge ends up with the highest score will be the winner. Testing was setup at 50 yards. Thanks for watching!

    I bought a 350 legend upper During the great pandemic ammo shortage, because even non straight wall state walmarts (like free tenessee) had it in quantity and cheap and they still do. I live at the center of 4 walmarts and I basically had my own personal ammo supply.

    Very close matchup, im quite impressed 350 penetrated that well. Keep in mind the 350 is putting more energy into target, so while 7.62x39 pulls ahead in penetration just a little, 350 makes up for it with more devastation. You can see some difference in the way the concrete explodes between the two.

    ​@camarokidbb4347 indeed so. Just that little bit of size increases gives some more surface area and weight to put some greater energy into the target on impact. That's why I love checking out ballistics gel vids too. Look up how the matchup is between 45-70 and 500 SW mag out of lever guns. Bighorn Armory is the only company I'm aware of making 500SWM lever rifles. They ain't cheap but damn nice.

    7.62 X 39mm uses a pointed FMJ bullet. Better sectional density. Similar energies... probably why the 7.62 worked so well. But for hunting, I'd probably lean towards the Legend....

    Considering the 350 legend was designed to be a deer hunting round in states that only allow straight-wall cartridges, the 350 did well against an intermediate bottle-neck 'military' cartridge. I suspect the 350 legend would do better on soft targets than the 7.2 x 39.

    Considering the reasons the Russians replaced 7.62x39mm at one point with 5.45x39mm (that being concerns over overpenetration), it doesn’t terribly shock me that .350 Legend outperforms 7.62x39mm in regards to damage done.

    Hey! Nothing wrong with that!! My son bought 1 of those “CVA”, bolt action rifles (I think it’s made but Bergara?), chambered in .350 Legend & it is an absolute Deer Stopper! He shot a couple deer w/it here on our farm. 1 was an “antlered buck”, the other was an “antler less-button buck”, and neither of them made it very far. The wound channel was insane on the antlered buck, to the point I felt bad for the small guy. The other was all internal damage & massive damage at that. At that moment I became a proponent of the .350 Legend. I put my calipers on it as low as I could on a loaded cartridge & it measured .355-or in other words a 9mm sized bullet. So, basically Winchester took a 9mm and made it into a TRUE “Magnum”! Not sure about this new Remington .360 Buckhammer. You had any experience with it? They claim 25%+ more energy? Anyway, loved what I saw from a “straight wall”, cartridge as we live in Missouri & anything with a primer or center fire is legal. I bought a Savage Mod 25, w/laminate wood stock, vented forearm, double studded for sling & by-pod w/semi heavy barrel & in a vice or sled doesn’t even move when you pull the trigger. Anyways, Missouri is very relaxed on what we can use as hunters so “straight wall’s”, are new for us here but we were very impressed with the results! Shoot straight!!!

    Just to add about the 350 Legend in comparison to the 30/30. The 30/30 is generally shot out of a 20" barrel and the 350 out of a 16" barrel. I built a 350 with an 18" Barrel and even giving up those extra two inches the 30/30 has nothing on the 350. Ron Spomer did a great comparison on the two cartridges. On the need for the straight walled cartridges in certain states; the problem was hunters not paying attention to what was behind the deer they were aiming at and using long range calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor, 308, or 30/06 that penetrated cars, houses, and sometimes people. I don't like the law but completely understand it's need and intent. The states that adopted the law are all highly populated and long range hunting, by comparison, is under 300 yards or not long range. I live in one of those states and it's very legal to build an AR platform in 350 Legend or 450 Bushmaster. Lastly, the 350 legend is easy to find and generally cheaper than the 30/30 when comparing similar cartridge weights and bullet types. The rifles are far cheaper too, especially if you build your own.

Maybe add a phone book or catalog test in place of the steel as depth of pages is a good comparison too.

    Actually, if you really watch, the 350 did not do quite as well as the 7.62. Wood block - 7.62 punched through with no problem. 350 had issues; one round ended up going through a spot already weakened by the 7.62 . The 350 retest was too close to the edge and deviated through the side thus not going through the whole block. Concrete - the 7.62 made a shallow hole, where the 350 made a little dent. They were close, but objectively, the 7.62 won. I don't really care for the 7.62, being a fan of the.308. For barriers I'd prefer the 416 Rigby.

    Penetration against a soft body target, sure, but it doesn’t at all relate to penetration against armor (since 5.56x45mm from a rifle didn’t make it through a 6” sandbox, but a .45 Colt from a Ruger did; no prizes for guessing which is better against armor). It kinda makes me wonder though, if you can design a caliber to be just good enough against armor to penetrate a front plate, go through an enemy, then bounce off his back plate so that the round is more effective against armored tangoes than unarmored…

    Rifle cartridges from pistol-length barrels (and by that I mean 6” or less) is redundant imho. While the often smaller caliber can make for better penetration compared to typical pistol calibers, the lesser velocity (to the point where temporary wound cavities no longer matter) makes penetration through armor more of a moot point, and the effect on an unarmored target would be more comparable to a .44 Magnum at absolute most, maybe even closer to 10mm Auto or .357 Magnum.

From my understanding, the - 0.0030" essentially means that the bullet should have a diameter in the range of .354 and .357. It's kind of a tricksydoodle they did to get around Ohio law

    People the 350 legend is basically a 35 rem in an AR form. The 450 bushmaster is basically a 45-70 in AR form .... They were invented to make a hunting rifle out of an AR.....and yes 35 legend is in a group in which 9mm , 357 , 38 and 35 caliber bullet will work. 40 years ago lots of people tryed to load 357 bullets in the 35 rem. Be cause the small cartridge wouldn't push the big two hundred gr bullet fast enough to kill like they wanted ..lots of deer running off ..
