Who Tee Who has been coming out with banger videos back to back!

I was laughing so hard as you were making your predictions, and then especially as you were dramatically holding the .45-70 cartridge close to the camera and slowly rotating it so it would glint in the sun. I love to see you excited about a cartridge. This was a very fun video!

45-70 is a beast. But so is 12 gauge. This is a good comparison.

WELL, my hubby just saved about $800. He was planning on buying a 45-70 lever action, for use on brown bear & moose. BUT, based on your test, he's content to keep his Mossberg 12 gauge, and load it with slugs !

Be interesting to see the experiment repeated at a hundred yards and see how much difference the loss of velocity makes.

I’ve never hunted cinder blocks. But, if a bear was charging me, I’d take the 12 gauge without a second thought.

Hardcast bullets generally have a high antimony content. Antimony is the cheapest way for bullet companies to harden the lead. The problem with high antimony alloys is it creates a brittle lead so unlike a pure lead bullet, or one that is hardened by using tin, that is malleable and expands or deforms after impact the antimony bullet will chip and break apart.

You ought to mow the grass short around your target area, and maybe put down a tarp to have a better chance of finding the bullets or slugs. 12 ga. slug is probably the more practical round, as more people are likely to have a 12 ga. vs a 4570... And it gives you the option of different rounds.

Thank you for putting these comparisons together. I think this one surprised everyone. Cheers!

This has gotta be the most anticipated cinder block 🧱 test I’ve ever wanted to see

Notice how he didn’t use the brenneke this time, didn’t want to embarrass the ol’ 45-70 again.

For those who don't know, Who Tee Who is sick, and the diagnosis is he's suffering from highammopricitis.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I started out in Artillery and moved on to other things later in my career, but I always have enjoyed seeing what big projectiles do to targets, like many other folks of our persuasion. Thanks, for the video brother.

I’d like to see this same test with a 20ga slug and a 44 mag rifle

The results are very similar to the .30-06 vs .300 win mag test. All four shattered the first block but did not touch the second. My guess is that when the first web is cracked that it wedges apart the sides of the block and cracks the other two webs. The three webs really are not independent of each other, because they are connected by the sides. Concrete is very strong in compression, but not in tension stress or shear stress. It would be interesting to turn the blocks 90 dgrees and see if the bullets get through the first block to the second, when there is only two walls they need to penetrate. This is a very interesting test because both projectiles are heavy with a lot of energy, but have drastically different sectional densities. I bet you would see a significant difference in penetration in the paper plate test, or in ballistic gel. The key points to penetration are velocity, sectional density, and bullet construction. Good video. I like your tests and have subscribed, but to make it a truly great video, include as much data as possible such as bullet weight, velocity, and design. PS. Yes I did take differential equations and newtonian physics in college and my job title ends with the word engineer.

I knew no way that 45.70 go thru all those blocks and the 12 Guage did as much damage and a lot more cheaper.thx for video wtw.

For your shoulder…when shooting my 3 1/2” Benelli Nova from a bench with magnum loads…I salvaged a 1/2” piece of the black dense foam from a computer shipping box from work and cut it to fit under my shirt where the stock contacted my shoulder…it worked like a charm for this soft old man 🤩🤩🤩

That piece of copper was a most likely the gas check, previously crimped to the bottom of the slug. The bullet probably bounced out somewhere.

Definitely thought that 45-70 would’ve pushed a bit further. Prayers for ya man!!

I love the the test, nice work. I would humbly submit that Brenneke black magic slug would be more in line for a comparison .

Very interesting comparison. I don't know much about the 45-70, but I thought no way it penetrates that much more than a 12 gauge slug. Great vid as always 👍

I'd love to see the Brenneke black magic slug in that test

The 12 ga. is one of the most versatile and deadly calibers out there … I want me one that holds 10 rounds !!!

WOW 🤩 I was NOT expecting that. I’d like to see you do that test on water jugs from 50 yards WTW. And as always another awesome video bro.

Good video Who, the ole 45/70 is always a crowd pleaser. Thanks for all the good things you do. Good shooting and gods speed to The Who family. 👍🇺🇸 hope you are doing better. 🙏🏻

Enjoyed watching, the .45-70 pulverized the cinder block. Either round is very effective and I thought the .45-70 would've penetrated a little more based on the higher muzzle velocity 2000 vs. 1500, but that's why these tests you do are fun and informative!

Who-Tee, another great video that is right up my alley.

Glad to see you are feeling better! 👍👍👍

I'm a brick mason and those feather weight blocks you can do that damage with a hammer 🔨. Try using fire rated blocks.

I've always been a fan of the 12 ga. foster slugs for deer, groundhogs and inanimate objects.. When I was a kid, every nearby farm had their own dump, with two within a half-mile of our house. We killed more than our share of old TV sets with 12 ga. buckshot and slugs (this was back in the late 50's and early 1960's); or as I like to say, way back in that last century. The only problem was those slugs and buckshot hurt like the dickens when fired from a 12 ga. single shot shotgun with a plastic (Rynite) stock. But we was young, dumb and considered ourselves immortal!! Anyway, I love your video's and have watched quite a few. I was very surprised that the 45-70 stopped so short, although I thought your estimate was a little optimistic.

Awesome comparison video WTW. Very surprising brother. I was not expecting that outcome! Hope y feel better and have a great weekend brother!🤘🏽

First time I watched your channel. I just subscribed. Great video. Thank you

Your first shot went at a downwards angle, destroyed the first block, chipped the front edge bottom of the 2nd block, then went down through the pan and the table.....look at the video closely....... look at the dust fragmentation in the spaces of the 2nd block....check out 2:45 to 2:46 in the video. Also look for the big hole caused by the slug deflecting through the table.

WE used to use Remington sluggers for FQ... Regular 2 3/4 inch. Very accurate out to 50 yards with open sights. It would be interesting to know what the higher performance 12 gauge slugs would do.. And then there are 3 inchers, not sure if there is a 3 1/2 inch slug but I know I don't want to shoot it.. These are great tests that are interesting to most shooters.

Good vid! Your video quality gets better all the time.

Thanks for the clip m8 very interesting I was surprised with the results of the 45 70 keep I'm coming m8

I would have expected the slug to expand extensively at the first wall as it dumped a tremendously large amount of it's energy. As it wasn't on the table it must be on the ground (along with the 45/70). You may wish to consider repeating the test with a high speed camera on the ladder. I love the videos, please keep them coming...

The slug did exactly as I expected. I guessed the 45/70 to shatter 4 and crack number 5. I like the unexpected results they keep us humble. Cool video

Very surprised! I’ve always been amazed at the velocity of 12ga slugs

Great video WTW love the cinder block 🧱 videos amazing how fast those blocks eat bullets

Love to see you do that again, but try a 405 grain at say 1500fps. I reckon that 2000+fps is destroying the hard cast bullet. Contrary to what you think a lower velocity would allow the bullet to keep on trucking into those blocks.

Great comparo! Those cinder blocks are designed to be as solid as concrete but without all the weight. I thought you'd only penetrate and break the first block, and you were ambitious to get it to the water jug! Anyway, still shows the force that both rounds can do. Catch you next vid, hopefully a bit earlier this time.

Enjoyed watching the video Adam get better soon have a great weekend 😎👍🤜🤛💥💥🇺🇸

I shot a 300 + pound bear this spring with the 45-70 grizzly bullet, and very impressed. This was my 25th bear. He ran approximately 20 ft. and didn't make it over a fallen log. Next on the list is elk.

Sending prayers and good vibes Adam...🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

Oh man this is an awesome video! Hard hitting lead rounds! Cinder blocks tend to obliterate bullets though. Hope you’re feeling better WTW!

Both great rounds it's a bad day to be a cinder block I thought that the 4570 would run a lil deeper great video hope your feeling better WTW keep them coming

Awesome test! Hard to beat a 12 ga slug. Probably one of my favorite rounds overall!! Thanks

I'd like to see more 7.5fk brno tests from you guys,and AK tests 👍

Always fun to watch - you keep it fun!

Not surprised by the the Slugger but did think the hard cast would go further at that velocity. Live and learn! Good video.

I love both 12 gauge and 45-70

Whooootheeeewhooooooo

Great video man, I’ve always wanted to see how they compare

That brass piece you found after the 45/70 shot is called the gas check sleeve most all lead loads have them.

Would love to see this with different slugs. Brenneke and others claim harder lead for better performance.

Surprised by both, 12 gauge was stouter than expected and 45/70 not as strong as expected. I thought water bottle was too far, but I expected the 45/70 to get a whole lot closer, maybe one block short of the water bottle, These two need further evaluations to compare then with different media, like paper plates and ballistic gelatin . That truly was a fun video!

Thank you, I had the same question as to how they hit different.

About right, no surprise. Either way they both still obliterate.

Not a lot of energy difference between the 2. The 1oz is 435g while the 45-70 st 405g works out close to the same energy with the higher velocity I think. Great comparison and was fun to watch

I believed you but the 45-70 did not keep on going after all. This is fun, thank you.

Some good ones just keep popping up. Hadn't seen before. I wonder if full Cooper or some other alloy would do better. Thanks

Well now that was an interesting video and I thought you were either joking or very over-optimistic about the penetration of the 45-70 hard cast bullet.

I'd love to see 45-70 solid copper, in the same test.

Great video, as always. I never miss a wtw video.

Thanks for another cool video brother !

Get better with ALL THE ZOOMS, Adam!!!

Love this comparison, always wondered how the two rounds compared. I still love the 45-70 cause it not only broke the first block, but pulverized that block to dust. Also, I’ve hit some big deer with both rounds (different weapons used during different hunts), and the 45-70 seemed to cause more devastation than a 12 gauge slug. I own a dedicated 12 gauge slug gun, and it’s performance and accuracy doesn’t come close to the 45-70. Not only that, when confronted by a bear or big wolf which weapon would you want to have in your hands? Thanks again, Bill from Minnesota.

Great job, love it. One of your best

great video love to see the 45-70 hornady 325 gr ftx vs. 30-06

Gonna be a whole lot of splody bits today. 💥💥💥

The performance in this test of a solid brass or copper .45-70 would be much different. That would be interesting to see compared to a brenneke slug.

I never made any guess as to the shotgun slug. But I was bang on about that 4570 bullet!

Genuinely honest review. That's cool you didn't edit out your predictions. I did think that 4570 was gonna do better. I'm curious if you would get the same results if you ran the test a few times. Thanks for the video

Feeding the algorithm, as classic cool as the .45-70 is, I’ve gotta say that a good 12 gauge will probably serve you better through sheer versatility unless you need the .45-70’s range, and then there are rifled slug barrels to cover that application as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've seen other channels do cinder block tests, and it's hard to bust more than one. It's a lot like shooting a sandbag

Pretty cool videos. How far away were you from the shots to the cinder blocks

I love watching cinder blocks getting destroyed. I bought some freedom seeds today from the ammo shop and on the comments I let them know that Who Tee Who showed me the site, let's go all and do this, and see if they will sponsor Who Tee Who!

The 45-70 exploded the cinder block into much smaller fragments than the 12 guage did, but the penitration results were ruffly the same. I'd like to see you compare a 308 to a 30-06 on the cinder blocks.

If you look at the slowmo you can how the energy continued on after the first cinder block.it's hard to deny the 12 gauge!

Great video ! I have always wanted to see these 2 dule it out. lol. Thanks

Awesome video ideas keep it up 👍🏼

Well, at about 2:00 you asked us to put our guesses in the comments and I honestly don't think that .45-70 will go anywhere as far as you're saying. I paused the video to write this. Let's see what happens.... I'll comment some more after the test. I feel like I should dim the lights and be eating popcorn, lol. Edit - Ok, I'm glad I took a chance on this one. I thought the .45-70 would go further than it did but I didn't think it would go through all of those cinder blocks. This was definitely an interesting video. More importantly, you are looking healthier and rested. God bless.

Oddly enough, the 45/70 may have done better if the velocity was lower. I think the lower velocity actually helped the softer slug.

Outstanding video and did you find the other bullet from the other test

Quality content! As per you usual.

I want a rematch that was too close to call we need a winner

I know that .45-70 is a beast, but when you predicted it reaching the water jug, my expression went to 😵‍💫 After watching some of your other cinder block tests, I thought no way. I did think it would get into that second block though. Those big ole bullets seem to drop off their energy much quicker than those faster, smaller bullets. Was interesting to see that .45-70 pulverize that block though.

Never shot a 45-70 but expected the slug to do a little better. Now we know thanks to you.

I Love the cinder block tests! Maybe you could catch the hard cast bullet if you put the water jug in the back of the first block👍👍👍

This was a good comparison. But, it all boils down to physics. I knew the slug would go deeper through the cement because it's 1 ounce! The energy is sustained longer.

Wow that was surprising!!!

Great show loved it.

Good video Who Tee, I'd like to see some 2.75 -vs- 3 inch shotgun tests

You should have used some 3 inch mags for the 12 gauge. Maybe Brenneke slugs. I would choose the 12 gauge for almost everything if not every thing. And don't discredit the 20 gauge either. Good video!

Sticking with my single shot Henry shooting a sabot round!

Another really fun video no doubt.👍

Wow, that’s was awesome 👏, thanks Who tee who

IMO and I'm not an expert but the best gun, home defence, big game, small game is a 12ga. It's versitily makes it the almost best all around gun.

Could've moved the water jug to the second hole and tried to catch it again.
