[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 1123503, member: 40654"] The Barnes LRX are exceptional bullets for big casings like the RUM's and now these 28-Noslers... I've posted time & time again about my Firebird's load using 168 LRX, and am very curious what the 28-Noslers end up shooting them at I've got them between 3180 & 3200 in my Firebird and not topped right out, load just shoots too well to ask for more. In my own mind, I believe a solid like the LRX (at that) velocity is very well suited for penetration and hitting power at close ranges vs. animals as big as Grizzly or into big bones like Moose and such where a guy wants a driving solid to power through and break things, [B]PLUS[/B] [I]by being able to reach those muzzle velocities[/I] in those big-casings, they allow for the LRX to be a totally legitimate 700-800 yard bullet as well. Alot of the smaller capacity cases struggle to get the big long Barnes to velocities that allow them real long-range use, but in the "heavies" it's a bullet pretty perfectly tailored.. you are absolutely on the right wave-length in thinking so* Also, Wilkup, your comment regarding recoil is probably gonna hold true too.. in mine, at the velocity mentioned, I am actually able to spot my own hits when shooting targets. The recoil isn't ridiculous at all. The lrx load has been my favorite load coming 4 years now* Absolutely confident to carry that rifle on (any) hunt loaded-up with 168's. 0 to 800 is covered. They will do their job. [/QUOTE]
