azhuntnut Report post Posted June 24, 2015 I did a little reading about these bullets when I was researching for my Creedmoor, but they were hard to find. I was at Cabelas this morning and saw a box and grabbed it. Has anybody tried these on any animals? David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted June 24, 2015 Terrible BC. Flies decent. Hammers on game. I used Barnes TTSX on a muley at 488 yards out of my .25-06 Ackley, complete pass through quartering on and the deer never took a single step. I had a good load worked up for my .300RUM in a 175 LRX but never used them on game. Flew pretty darn good though. Sub MOA. I bet the 6.5mm 127 LRX would be great on game, but make sure to keep them above the minimum 1600fps. So maybe out to 700 yards or so. Kinetic energy will be good out to 600 or so to retain 1000ft/lbs. depending on your velocity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingzero Report post Posted June 27, 2015 Never shot the LRX's but the TTSX's are my "go to" bullet for hunting. Barnes makes good stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azslim Report post Posted June 28, 2015 the factory is in Utah off I15, along about mm 231(ish) if I remember right. I've stopped in there a couple times over the years, could buy all I wanted if you know someone heading to Salt Lake have them buy some Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted August 15, 2015 A 500 yard group shot this morning at Phoenix Rod and Gun Club with my 7.5 pound 6.5-06. I'd say they fly fine. Plan to be testing them on elk and Coues shortly... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 15, 2015 Meh. Looks like they fly about 1/2 MOA high...... Great shooting, good luck on your hunts this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted August 15, 2015 Thanks, they were a little high, but it was almost 100 out so I'm thinking that was an air density thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted August 15, 2015 That is a dead ANYTHING (except maybe a prairie dog, but you might part his hair) at 500 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted October 1, 2015 Update... the little 6.5 dropped a big bull in its tracks Monday morning. Very impressed with the performance! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
