[QUOTE="Jiffy, post: 316964, member: 6332"] I wish I could say that. I also wish Barnes would come out with a 150ish - 160ish LRX in 6.5. Not that I'm already a Barnes-aholic the way it is. There is probably a reason why they haven't, something like you'd need a 1:1 to stabilize or something crazy like that. In calibers with "plenty" of case capacity I TRY and utilize a larger bullet. Yes, even with copper, for the most part. I'm far from a Berger pimp but I've been having good luck with the 156 EOL. Haven't pushed them real hard yet or stretched it out but initial testing has shown potential. If you run the numbers on "What could be" with that bullet it may sway you to try it. If you're into that sort of thing. 127s @ 3400 would definitely be hell on deer sized game. One could argue elk sized as well...but not on this thread. [/QUOTE]
