Barnes site seems to be down right now. Anybody got any real time loads using the 175 LRX bullet in a 300 WM? Also everybody seems to be out of 270 129 gr. LRXs and my rifle just loves them. Contacted Graf & Sons, Sinclair, Brownells, Bass Pro, Cabelas and Sportsman's Warehouse with no luck. Any help out there???? THX Mark MARK H.

Been waiting for some replies to your post. Since none have been forthcoming, here we go. 300 Win- 76 grains of Reloder 22 behind the 175 LRX in Nosler brass-3100FPS. This in a Ruger Hawkeye 24" barrel. This is the most accurate load for this rifle. 168 TTSX @ 3150 was similar in accuracy. Friends 300 Weatherby Mk5 Alaskan, 26" barrel- 81 grains of RL22, Nosler brass, 3200 fps. As accurate as anything we've tried in this rifle. Tried a few in my Hawkeye 300 RCM, don't recall the particulars, but very accurate for this rifle. Friend headed for the Snake River Unit in Oregon in a week or so and expect a post kill report upon his return. Good hunt and a very successful elk killer he is. Steve | |||

If you have manual number 4 just use the 180 grn TSX data Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Mark, After posting, I checked the Barnes website for load data again and they are now listing data specific to the LRX in certain calibers- the 300Win being one of them. Steve | |||
