[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3039257, member: 11459"] The LRX has a considerably lower minimum expansion velocity than the TTSX. Even if you cut your shots off where you'd never dip below the minimum with the TTSX the LRX is still going to expand significantly more than the TTSX at that same speed. Both of them have pretty minimal expansion once you get down to the bottom of the threshold and you really need to be about 300fps above it to achieve full expansion. IMO that's the biggest advantage to them, the BC increase isn't significant. I wouldn't be surprised if the CX becomes my new favorite though, it has an even lower minimum expansion than the LRX and in the heavier 7mm variety their 160gr has a higher BC than the 168gr LRX at .596 vs .550. In the 6.5's the 127gr LRX (.468) and 130gr CX (.489) are close enough that it's likely a wash in real world use. [/QUOTE]
