[QUOTE="jcc, post: 1910879, member: 26548"] I shot the 129 grain LRX out of my 270 WSM for a number of years. The attached image is of a LRX recovered from the far shoulder of elk at 580 yards. Bullet was still traveling at 2062fps at point of impact. The most up close shot with this same load was an antelope at 50 yards which was completely devastating. Complete passthrough and the bullet was not recovered. I never had expansion failures with the LRX. On the down side there was a fair amount of discrepancy between bullet weights and in sorting them out there would always be 5-8 out of the box that were .4 grains either side of 129. [/QUOTE]
