Barnes LRX bullets?

Recommended Posts

I did a little reading about these bullets when I was researching for my Creedmoor, but they were hard to find. I was at Cabelas this morning and saw a box and grabbed it. Has anybody tried these on any animals? David

Never shot the LRX's but the TTSX's are my "go to" bullet for hunting. Barnes makes good stuff.

the factory is in Utah off I15, along about mm 231(ish) if I remember right. I've stopped in there a couple times over the years, could buy all I wanted

 

if you know someone heading to Salt Lake have them buy some

A 500 yard group shot this morning at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club with my 7.5 pound 6.5-06. I'd say they fly fine. Plan to be testing them on elk and Coues shortly...

Thanks, they were a little high, but it was almost 100 out so I'm thinking that was an air density thing.

Update... the little 6.5 dropped a big bull in its tracks Monday morning. Very impressed with the performance!

180 yards +-, 6.5-06 127LRX @2980 MV, 1-8" twist, quartering towards. Dropped in tracks. Did not look for bullet as it was a solo hunt and I had much to do... used gutless method and looking between ribs i couldn't make out the lungs on the side facing me at the shot, just a red mass. I was aiming for the top of heart/lung area and appeared to have hit it. The shoulder to brisket depth appeared to be over 30 " so it was a big target :)

Has anyone tried them for a 7mm-08? If so could you share how they worked.looking for a good bullet for my sons rifle.
