[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1865606, member: 64108"] I can speak on the 6.5mm 127 grain LRX from a 6.5x284 at 3,018 fps logging over 30 kills for pigs, deer, and 2 cow elk I never recovered a bullet and never got a blood trail. All animal died from hits to the vitals but did not bleed externally, exit holes not much bigger than bullets diameter. Cows were hit diagonally one rear ribs exiting opposite shoulder, the other entered front shoulder and exited opposite side rear ribs. So yes, they really do penetrate but not sure if they expand. I quit using the 6.5 127. I have a dozen or so 30-06 .30 cal 165 TTSX recovered from deer and pigs in the perfect mushroom you see in the ads with ~100% weight retention. I would think the heavier .30 cal would penetrate more than the 6.5 but that has not been my experience the these two bullets.[ATTACH type="full"]184482[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
