At SHOT Barnes Bullets anounced
their new LRX lineup that includes a 127 grain bullet in 6.5mm.
Word from a 6.5 Grendel forum member who talked to Barnes reps at SHOT is that the bullets not only offer a better B.C. for long range shooting, but offer expansion at velocities as low as 1,400 fps. If that's true, than it expands 400 - 600 fps slower than other hunting bullets on the market, which translates to an extra 200+ yards of killing range. At an advertised price of $38 for a box of
50, Barnes has made all this possible by making these bullets out of solid gold.
No, solid copper. But the thought is the same.
ReplyDeleteSo how many boxes are you buying?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to see what the B.C. on them will be. If it's high enough, I may bite. I've resisted the Barnes bullets so far because they're so expensive - a box of 50 can be as much as $60 or more, while a box of 100 AMAXs run $25.
