[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 597458, member: 10411"] Sent this to barnes. We'll see how they respond. very interested in the barnes LRX line of bullets. Being the first of its kind (an actual long range hunting bullet and not a target bullet marketed as a hunting bullet) i am mainly curious about the BC of the bullets, have you thought about marketing them with a G7 and G1 BC number? If so i think it would be great information to put right on the box. I understand that BC will be lower than some target bullets on the market and might hurt sales of this bullet but i think myself and many other hunters will be more than willing to give up a few inches at 500 yards for a bullet that will actually expand and not explode on impact.
