127 lrx starting loads

[Novercalis]

So I have a couple of 127 barnes lrx pills leftover from a 6.5 sweed project. I was going to burn them up in grendel. Does anyone have a good start point and max with 8208, cfe or h335. Thanks. Btw these will be used exclusively in a ruger bolt action. My ar doesn't like barnes. Thanks.

Don't waist the h335 or 8208 on them.

If you don't have any h4985 then start the cfe223 at 26 grains.

I would also recommend H4895 starting at 25.0gr working up in .3gr increments over a chronograph.

CFE223 is very forgiving but you will find a max load with it with Grendel case volume under the 127gr LRX.

How far out can you load it in that action before jamming the lands?

[LRRPF52]

If you're going to invest in a Barnes bullet for 6.5 Grendel, their new 115gr VOR-TX bullet would be the money.

Expansion threshold on that bullet is ideal for 6.5 Grendel.

What is the minimum velocity for the new 115gr? 2,000fps?

IIRC Barnes says 1500-1600 something like that.

What is the minimum velocity for the new 115gr? 2,000fps?

Barnes says 1600 for both the new 115 tac-tx and the 127 LRX.

[Happy2Shoot]

Are the 115gr available yet? If so, where?

[grayfox]

available as factory amoo, I bought one box to try. ammoseek.com is the place to look.

[Happy2Shoot]

Thanks.

Is that info on their website or do you have to call to inquire?
