[QUOTE="scfam, post: 2910129, member: 80956"] Nicely said. Sometimes old works just fine. My 129 LRX popping along at 3200 fps is pretty handy on antelope, deer, and elk. More powder and higher BC bullets certainly provides benefits, but the "more powder" provides diminishing returns and short barrel life. 129 grains of copper that holds together well is enough to take elk just fine out to 500 and maybe a bit more. Comes down to expansion at slower velocities as the real limitation. [/QUOTE]
