I used a handloaded 175 LRX going 3100 from my 300WM on a cow elk a few weeks ago. I have shot Barnes Bullets since the late 80's. I wanted to test the LRX as it is supposed to be a tad "softer" up front, faster opening. My cow was only 100yds, high lung shot, quarter sized entrance/exit, no bloodshot meat, lungs all tore up. 30yd death run. Perfection, ha. I am not a LR hunter, so I am going back to the 30-06 for nostalgic reasons. I loaded the 168 TSX for several 300WSM users and 168TTSX for my last one (My SIL will use it next month for elk) I will see what the 150 TTSX does for me. I'd say "any" cup n core 180 or 165-180 Mono is perfect. Have fun though!!
