[QUOTE="7stw, post: 711773, member: 22854"] To those it may interest, these LRX bullets are deadly accurate. I purchased a box of 145 , 7 mm LRX bullets intended for my custom 7mm STW that I built in the spring. Up until now, it has been shooting the 140 TTSX with amazing accuracy. Well, Derrek M sent me a link about the LRX bullet,and was intrigued enough to try them. To make a long story short, I shot two back to back groups at 200 today, in the .5 are. There is a pic on page 1723 of the 7stw thread. Here is the thing that is interesting. When I was shooting the 140 TTSX, my load was 82-RL 25-140 TTSX at 3.668 OAL. Velocity average, 3369. I used the same formula, for the exception of the 145 grain weight LRX. Accuracy is stunning,and velocity average is 3413. I actually expected it to be a little slower, but I think what is at work here, is that the extra weight is letting the powder burn more completely, resulting in more speed. I had absolutely no pressure signs, case and primers are perfect, extraction was effortless.the BC on this bullet is .486. They are every bit as long as a 150 BT. These things are for real, and I am genuinely impressed. Now to settle the crosshairs behind the shoulders, and squeeze.............Can't wait, just about 4 weeks away. [/QUOTE]
