I started getting some good groups with 145 gr LRX and RL 16 in my 7x57. I’m going to pick up where I left off and try to get the best accuracy possible and then check MV.
I’d think that should be a really solid combo.
I’m thinking that the LRX would give adequate expansion and penetration at 7x57 velocities out to 250 yards or so, which would be great for 90% of my deer hunting. I’ve got a 150 TTSX load for 7mm magnums that are better suited for 300+ yard chores. I know many folks prefer 160 gr loads for mule deer and elk but that load is the bomb.
