Any luck with the Barnes LRX
Just wondering if any of you have had luck with the 7MM 145gr. LRX bullets? I have got them down to 1 inch groups but would like them a little better. I think I will mess with the OAL. more. My rem xrc 700 seems to like IMR 4831 the best. Thanks

I have also been trying the LRX and found my best accuracy with RL22. I did try some IMR4831 last year with good results, just under 3/4" groups at 100 yds and 2800 fps. The RL22 is right at 1/2" and chrono of 3029fps. I am .050 off the lands. I did also load some H1000 with very similar results but did not have enough to finish development.

That sounds good I have some RL22 and some IMR 7828. I also will try the .050 off the lands, the guy at barnes told me to start at .070 and go to .030 if I had to. Thanks for the info!
