[QUOTE="Ltbullken, post: 3003402, member: 80386"] I'm shooting a 65/284 and have taken elk with a 260 before using a 130gr TSX. I am partial to the 127LRX but have yet to use it on game. Other experiences with Barnes, though, have all been positive and they've have done the job I've needed them to do. I have no hesitation recommending a Barnes bullet. However, given your concerns about twist rate, I believe the 127LRX also suggests a minimum twist of 1:8. Sometimes a bullet will shoot regardless and if the formula suggests it will work, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, I'm sure you'll have ready buyers to take them off your hands! If you're not limited to lead-free, a bonded bullet might be worth a try, like a 130gr Accubond. My buddy's brother dumps elk out to 400yds with that bullet using his 6.5-06AI. I've seen the pics and the resultant damage! It's impressive. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
