168 grain LRX in a .284 Winchester

[Anvil11-87]

Anyone running 168 grain Barnes LRX bullets in a .284 Winchester?

Yep! Very mild load of 50 grains of h4350 and she will shoot 3/4 MOA. (No load development)

Thanks! I just picked up some H4350 to load some 168 SMK's. I'll give this load a try.

Velocity?

 

[barnesuser28]

2727 fps, like i said, very mild. I also run the 162 amax at 2860 fps with 52.8 grains of h4350. I found .58 G1 is an accurate bc for the lrx.

I shoot a .280 Ack. I was just curious. I haven't read much into the LRX, yet that is a pretty good BC for a Barnes Bullet.

I got my elk at 245 yards with it this year. He went 40 yards and tipped over. 3/4" exit and lots of damage in the chest. Took out the large artery above the heart.

I tend to lean more towards good marksmanship kills animals, not head stamp or bullet selection. Good shooting.

Although the Barnes bullets are intriguing.
