Barnes 95gr lrx .243

[pablo.222]

Anyone tried these in a .243 with a fast twist barrel? What powders? Currently have some n160 and staball 6.5.
Looking for actually usage if possible or info on other bullets to try.

I use the 80 grain TTSX in my .243.
Superformance powder doing 3,300 fps, 1 in 10 twist, 22" barrel.

Shot quite an number of fallow with them, including a handful of sizeable bucks during the rut with no problem. Culled a good few red hinds and followers as well, had good exits on every animal taken, from 30 to 200+ yards... nothing went further than usual either, most down within 10 strides or less.

Yes Sako 75 243 rebarrelled with 1:7twist rs60 powder around 3100fps very accurate and effective
