Posted By: Calvin 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 05/09/20
Anyone have any or know if where a guy could buy some? Seems they are all sold out at my normal sources.

My 1-8 243ai really wants to shoot them.

Thanks.

I’m looking for some too. 1 box.
Posted By: Calvin Re: 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 05/09/20
I am thinking critters will hate them at 32-3300 out of a 243ai. I would take that combo on my moose hunt.

I will email Barnes and ask them wtf.

Powder Valley shows 'em in stock.

I've been shooting them for a couple months in my 8 twist 243, so far they've been very accurate...no on game experience yet but I have little doubt.

I may have missed it but what's the BC on 'em? My .243 has a 1:9 twist.

Barnes states BC of .436, the 80 TTSX has worked great on deer/antelope, so I imagine the 95 LRX would just be" more better"

95 gr. LRX I have shot more than a few pigs and a few white tails with it, from 243 A.I. also not a bad coyote bullet.

You chronograph that load?

I'm shooting the LRX in my 6mm Creedmoor over 40 grs of RL16 but haven't tried it on critters yet.
I'll be shopping Fairbanks for more on Tuesday and will let you know if I find some.

I’m interested in this Bullet as well. I’ve shot 105 AMAX and a few 90 Accubonds out of my 243ai, but I’m thinking about trying the lrx for a mule deer hunt in the fall.

Midway has them, and on sale with free shipping. Picked up a good supply.
Posted By: Sakohunter264 Re: 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 05/30/20
Will they work in. 1-10” twist?
Posted By: Calvin Re: 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 05/30/20
No. They say 1-8
Posted By: mac805 Re: 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 05/31/20
I rolled the dice and tried them in my 1-9" .243 AI, and they would not stabilize. I got 6" groups and oblong holes at 100 yds. Same rifle shoots the 95 gr Sierras very well. They mean it when they say 1-8" required.
Posted By: elkcountry Re: 6mm 95 Barnes LRX. - 06/02/20
I use these in my Rem. 788 243 Win with a 1 in 10" twist with zero problems. Very high BC and they hit deer and antelope like lightning.

I load them to 3150fps with IMR-4831 and am comfortable out to 400yds. I'm sure a 24" 243AI could get 3300fps.

I use the MKZ version for hunting!

My hunting partner uses the 6.8mm 105gr. MKZ in a 6.8SPC and it does a great job on game as well!

Midway has free shipping to AK? - surely you jest

No L, I do not jest. Haha.



I know, it’s weird. After the $10 Alaska surcharge screwing we took for years, it’s nice. Just wait till they offer a code.

You are a loony. You're working up a load for your Spring of '21 Kodiak bear hunt and you want to take a 6mm on this fall's moose hunt?

Hint: give your bear load a test run on a moose . . .
