[QUOTE="Spotter's Signature, post: 2977594, member: 121865"] I was too. It's one of the reasons I picked the 150 TTSX to toy with; 1500 fps to open! I thought that guy wasn't honest as similar bullets open usually at ~1900 fps. Some need to be over 2000 fps! The 1500 fps might be for "perfect conditions". My recent thoughts exactly! I thought about LRX line - they are softer and are documented to lose petals. I thought about developing speed loads with these to ENSURE pass-throughs. The problem is, there are no good LRX projectiles for 7mm in my opinion (WBY MAG cartridges). Twist rate required (all are listed as 1:9.5", mine is a 10), and their specs are just not very compatible with my gun; I see not enough advantage to warrant a new load development with these, risking none would stabilize because of the twist rate required. It is a thought though. I'll be working on my 300 WIN MAG loads with these in the near future, likely 175 gr. [/QUOTE]
