Barnes 127 LRX

[sneaky one]

Send them- it will be a while tho.. chat with ROS- see if he tested the 105's I sent to him. D. Davis in Alaska has a bunch also, not sure if he tested his yet.

Talk to von gruff- The Grr Max chamber can help your boltie too! I still may find a way to get that in my AR Grrr.

Glad you found out the realities of this cool round---best part is, the faster the mono's go, the more impressive the results are! More to follow on this idea soon. Gel tests .

S1...I've got a couple of 50 round boxes...you can keep some for testing in gel...I'd like a 110 grain version

Update: I could only fit 31.1 grains of CFE 223 into case (compressed) with 127 LRX loaded .030" off lands in my bolt "Grendel"...2450 fps was all I could manage. No real advantage to 127 LRX...

Since I don't have another 6.5mm gun, I guess I'll sell my remaining bullets (or send to sneaky one for a "custom bullet")...

As Sneaky said my GM chamber allows a bit more velocity and with the 129gn Interloct running to 2618fps over 31.6 gn CFE 223 and the 130gn Gameking getting 2581 over 31.3gn CFE 223. The 100gn TTSX got 2950 over 34.1gn CFE 223 and the 123gn A Max runs at 2700fps over 32.6gn CFE 223.
None of these load are anywhere nearing compression

Please note. These loads are for my Grendel Max chambered rifle and are not to be used in a standard Grendel chamber. Cartridge over all length is also extended to 2.405 which adds to the cases available powder capacity

VG, it is very tempting, but I don't think I want to mess with the PacNor Super Match chamber. I was getting over 2600 fps with 129 InterBond with CFE...I settled for 2575 fps for an accuracy node.

I was just searching for a "better mousetrap" with the LRX...I was a little surprised at how deep the LRX really sat when loaded off the lands (2.32" COAL). As S1 already knew (but I just had to find out on my own) it is too long. I guess the 120 GMX is also out as it is nearly as long as the LRX.

I'll try the 130 Scirocco II...if that doesn't pan out for me I may just settle on 129 IB or 120 TTSX.
