To the extent some of you are looking for .375 options that maximize the effective range, has anyone considered loading the new Barnes 270gr LRX in your .375s?
It's all copper, like the TSX, but is tipped, like the TTSX. It increases the 270gr TSX's B.C. from 0.326 to 0.449. According to my calculation, that means that a 270gr TSX leaving the muzzle at 2,700 fps would slow down to 2,170 fps at 200 yds, but a 270gr TSX launched at the same 2,700 fps MV would not fall to 2,170 fps until beyond 275 yds.
I know some traditionalists don't like the thought of a plastic tip, but I have had good results with the TTSX, and they are supposed to make the copper bullet open up more reliably at slower speeds than will the TSX.
Is there any downside to the LRX with its lower air resistance, given that it's an all-copper expanding Barnes bullet, like the TSX?
