[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1064576, member: 63138"] Thanks for the info. The reason I'm attempting to use the light for caliber 175 LRX is I've been educated that you want this situation with Barnes bullets. Keep the velocities up high (above 3,000 fps) to get both big hydrostatic shock on the animal and complete pass through resulting in more DRT shots. Assuming I can get it to shoot, I intend to use this load for 0 to 500 yards type shots. Past that I'll switch to the Berger 210 HVLDs which shoot great. I don't like the idea of using the Bergers up close as it will mess up the meat more than a Barnes and I don't like the idea of using the Barnes at long range since they have lower BCs and don't expand as good at lower velocities thus acting more like a FMJ. Does this really matter? No not really but it is fun to mess with. I tend not to use RL-22 because of the temp instability but RL-23 should work great in its place. That is in an area of powder burn rate I haven't tried yet. Might work. All I have to do now is find some. [/QUOTE]
