[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2343784, member: 64108"] I shot well over 30 deer and hogs with the 127 LRX at just over 3,000 fps from my 6.5x284 and never got a blood trail or recovered a bullet. This includes 2 cow elk quartering shots that went ribs to shoulder and exited with a caliber sized hole, no blood. One cow was lost to a grizzly we came up on at 20 yards the next morning, scary. Bullets were very accurate .3 MOA, longest kill was a coyote at ~860 yards. All the animals died from hits to the vitals but I never got a blood trail or good sized exit from the 6.5 LRX but I have a dozen or so of the perfectly mushroomed .30 caliber Barnes, maybe just the 6.5 doesn't expand well, don't know. The alloy they use is very hard and pressures up faster than the softer alloys used by Cutting Edge and Hammer bullets. The CEB 140 Lazer is what I shoot from that gun now and has a G1 of ~.600 and expands down to 1,300 fps but you need a 7 twist barrel. You should like the Hammers as they are really easy to load !
