Gel testing results show the lightweight T-REX opening nicely at 1685fps. Likely minimum is closer to 1600.

The recovered TREX weighed 84.4g and thus retained 99.3% of its weight, with loss of the polymer tip. The LFP was recovered after 20.5" of gel penetration.
My results match closely to those provided by the Manufacturer:

Hunting results below were provided by HuntTxHogs. They agree well with those provided by Maker and show the 85gr TREX is an excellent choice for hunting coyote and hogs.

He reported that all of the recovered LFPs expanded to 0.730 - 0.850 and penetrated 12"-16". They all retained 100% of their weight - the encased tissue accounts for weight loss from the polymer tip.
The estimated impacts, based on 3000fps at muzzle, were from 2400fps (185 yds) to 2750fps (75 yds).
