Yes sir. Same here Gunner.

I have a bunch of those 168 LRX's myself. Not sure why but I haven't tried them myself. I'd bet a buck you'd get them up over 3100 quite easily and I am sure they'd carry some serious attitude at distance.


You bet, and drill a hole in a bull from the last rib forward out the shoulder, i may have to try to find some, i can load the 3.6" in the old H&H mag box.


Without a doubt. Mine is set up the same. I think I can get out to 3.610" or a bit more in mine.

To me partitions are the bullets all the other premium bullets are trying to equal.

As far as SPS being closed due to the state’s COVID law - move to another state SPS.


Bugger, ain't nothing wrong with them, but I don't believe they do anything any better than a bunch of others that are costing much less these days. While I haven't had major issues getting them to shoot, typically they aren't the most accurate in any rifle I own. Plenty good though 95% of the time. I have used a bunch of them and will continue to use what I have stocked up on.
