BWalker,
The LRXs are designed to open easier at lower, long-range velocities. As a result sometimes the petals come off at closer ranges and higher impact velocities. This generally results in a smaller wound channel.
Hello John, I am aware that the LRX opens a bit easier.
I will say I have never noticed any small exits with either cartridge while using the LRX. I might also say my observation doesnt have any sort statistical validity, but its my observation none the less.
This year we both shot mature muley bucks. And the entrance and exit hole diameters where nearly identical with golf ball size exits for both.
Overall I am.happy with the LRX. It's the best mono I have used before...but they don't kill like a 180 BT!
