I have several 6.5's. 260 Rem, 6.5x55, 6.5x06, & 264 mag. Some 1/9 twist, some 1/8. In all of them I have struggled to get satisfactory accuracy with the 127 LRX. Have always got excellent accuracy with the 120gr TSX/TTSX. The 120gr Barnes has accounted for many elk for me over the years with no problem. if you do get the LRX & like me find accuracy elusive try the TSX/TTSX. I started with the Barnes bullets back in 1994 & the 6.5 120gr original "X" bullet.. It has been a stand out bullet for me ever silence. Never lost an elk , or even come close to loosing one.
