[QUOTE="Battering Ram, post: 2972230, member: 89952"] This is a timely post since I just worked up a load for my 25-06 with the LRX bullet. I bought a box of ELDX 110 to see how they shoot. First: the LRX using Retumbo has given me an average of .8 over a 21 shot, 3 at a time plus cool down, string. I use Barnes exclusively in all my hunting rifles because I to want to have the ability to hold bone and get pass through. In my 6.5 PRC I use the ELDX 143. It killed the muley I used it on, but I was under 200 yards. I used an average speed of 3260 to runs ballistics on the Barnes. 800 yards my bullet would be at 1800 foot lbs. I will update you with the eldx but at 3000 feet per second the same calculator shows my 1800 foot pounds at 775. I’m not advocating you shoot animals this far out but I’m demonstrating how close these to bullets are for down range energy. Barnes is great because it goes fast and passes through. I shot a bull a few years ago with my 300 RUM at 760 yards and that is the first non pass through Barnes bullet I’ve ever had. I wil include the picture. This year I helped my friend get his first elk and first animal ever. He used a Tula 300 WM and the Hornady 178 ELDX precision hunter ammo. At 600 yards neither of his rounds passed through. I saw them both hit the elk but she had very little reaction. Elk are tough but even at 760 yards my bull flipped over backwards when he was hit. At that distance last year my son drop his elk with a 300 win mag and a Barnes 175 LRX right there in her tracks. No bullet recovered because it was a pass through. The first picture is the bullet recovered on my 760 yard bull. The second picture is where the two ELDXs hit the elk. I showed those to demonstrate these were rib shots and not heavy bone. The third is the eldx I recovered under the hide on the off side. Let me know how your load development goes. My 25-06 belonged to my wife’s grandfather. He and her grandmother were killed in a car crash this year and the rifle was given to me. I don’t think he ever shot it. It’s a 1972 model Winchester 70. I had to shoot it because I felt it would do the honor to Benny Gumm. [ATTACH type="full"]520396[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]520397[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]520398[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
