[QUOTE="willyqbc, post: 1512807, member: 17279"] [B][/B] The Barnes 139 LRX has a minimum impact velocity of 1600fps, and like every other barnes will not come apart. Between myself, my son and my two hunting partners, we have shot over 150 critters with the barnes, moose, elk, muleys, whitetail, bears, african plains game, etc,etc......only ever recovered about 4 bullets. My son went through the brisket and had a complete north/south pass through on a decent bull elk using a 120 ttsx with a reduced load, MV 2600fps. Also took moose, muleys and black bears with this combo, your 7-08 with a 139 GMX or barnes TTSX/LRX will do just fine! Not sayin the GMX isn't a fine bullet, as I have no personal experience with it, but the barnes certainly has a much longer history of performance. Along with minimum impact velocity, keeping to 1000 ft/lbs and above at impact is a good idea for mono's to work their best! Just my .02 cents Good luck with your hunt! Chris [/QUOTE]
