[QUOTE="Black Sheep, post: 801407, member: 36862"] Using the G7 calculator on this site, and the published bc of .550 on the 168 LRX, I shot out to 663 yards, and the drops matched perfectly. Here's some info from an earlier post.... Here's what I got from Ty Herring at Barnes.... [COLOR=black][FONT="]We are recommending the 175gr TSX load data for use with the 168gr LRX. Also be sure you have the correct barrel twist as most factory 1 in 9.25” to 9.5” barrels will not stabilize this bullet. We are recommending the 1 in 9 twist for those at higher altitudes (5000ft and above) and those at sea level up to 5000ft will require a 1 in 8 twist barrel to stabilize it. Now I have a Remington Sendero with a 9 1/4 twist in a 7mmSTW, and I live at about 4200ft elevation, and they stabilize just fine for me at 100 yds. I have shot them out to 663 yards with no problems. I've killed a coyote (not fair, I know :)) A bull elk at about 300yds, and a cow elk at about 200 yards and the bullets performed beautifully. I clipped the bottom of the bulls spine, and it augered a hole through it (on an upward shot angle) about the size of a 50 cent piece. On the cow, I plugged her right behind the shoulder so I didn't waste any meat, and she leaked out a bunch of blood, and only went about 40 yards. I've been very impressed with them.
