Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Barnes 6.5 127 LRX Question

Thanks for the input guys.

I emailed Barnes yesterday and this is the response I got;

"Hi Jerry,

Yes the 6.5mm 127gr LRX requires a minimum impact of 1600fps for initial (beginning) expansion. Compared to the 6.5mm 120gr TTSX that requires 1900fps for the same beginning expansion. We suggest an impact velocity of 100fps to 200fps higher than these values for good bullet expansion and subsequent good wound channels.

Thanks, Ty
