Why did you change, i am trying to short circuit all the try this that and the other
and how did you find the difference between the two LRX?
280ai so on a 130 -140g should be about 3200

Hi User00040,
How have you got on with the 139 Hornady CX?
I gave Barnes 139 LRX a 1st try 2 weeks back. Ladder test from 2600fps to 3169fps in a fairly long barrel custom chambered 284 Win.
I was going to use this now to try and hone a perfect load.
I was just wondering why you switched to the Hornady? Have you found them easier to obtain?
I know it's 2 & half years ago, but do you still have the Barnes 139 LRXs?

I have been using the 130gn Fox in the factory load out of my 7x57 and the 145gn (I think, may be 150) out of my 7x65R. Both work very well on Roe, Red and a few sika.
In the 7x65R I have been using the 140gn RWS HIT ammo. Absolutely fine on Roe. I have had a few a Red take a bit longer than I would like when I have put the bullet just through both lungs. Purely down to operator error. Ideally in my experience you want to go up the front side of the front leg on Red.
