They penetrate big animals very well from all angles and it’s been pretty rare for us to not see the animal drop in their tracks. I’ve been using them since they hit the market and have yet to find another bullet that does anything better than they do for my hunting. Before these came out I used 200 partitions almost exclusively in the 300s and while they did very well these have surpassed them handily. And, they produce less recoil due to their lighter weight.


Isn't there a 165 and a 168 ? Why did they make two so close together?


165 was designed for the 300 wsm. But a lot still use the 168 for the 300 wsm.


Was the 168 meant for the 300, or a 308? What about the LRX bullets? They have a 175, 190, and 200 in the LRX. They are made to expand down to 1300. Kind of seems like they would be fragile at close ranges.


The 200 grain LRX seems like an awesome bullet in my 300 RUM. I messed with them a little and they showed a bunch of promise. I don't see them as being fragile at all. Just a long slender nose on them and a big boattail. I still don't think they'd do much the 168 won't do, especially when your'e talking about the different launch speeds. I default to John about the Barnes mostly, since he has used a pile of them and I trust what he says in regards to killing bullets.
