Monos do not kill as well as eldx et al. once they slow down...what am I missing?
Over the past five or six years I’ve seen game up to elk killed with the .260 and Creed.... running 123 Scenars, 123 Amax, 127 LRX, 130 Accubond, 130 VLD-H, 139 Scenar, 140 Amax, 143 ELDX, and 147 ELD.... at ranges from 30 yards to 600+. I’ve got enough experience with the 143 to know it’s not nearly the elk bullet that the 127, or even the 139 Scenar is. The 127 LRX at 2800fps is a killin sum’bitch..... it works just as well as any 6.5 bullet I’ve seen on game.... and better than most. Hell.... I’ve shot a dozen or so coyotes with them... some at better than a 1/4 mile.... none of them have taken a step.... and I’ve seen that same bullet go through 3+ feet of 650lb cow elk.... and exit. EVERYTHING I’ve seen shot with a LRX died right now. What you’re missing.... is the fact that I’m not guessing here... That's a good story. A big game animal shot double lung with a 127 lrx going ~1900 fps doesnt die right now.

Bullet entered at the last rib.... and exited in front of the off shoulder. I didn’t realize you where there when Benjamin shot that elk.... Might wanna reconsider who you’re calling a liar....

Hint................... Here’s the front axle of a bull I shot with a 140 TTSX via 18” 7/08.... impact velocity would have been 2450ish.... bull went 20 yards or so.... Those monos at lower velocities sure do suck.... laffin.... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/1J4pntD.jpg)

One thing to keep in mind, is that the LRX has a specified 1600 fps minimum expansion velocity. That means that it'll expand and perform when shot from standard velocity cartridges about as well as the TTSX does from magnums...

SNIP Over the past week, I've had about a dozen calls and texts asking questions like: What rifle/caliber should I get for my son..... or for my wife.... or to hunt deer with.... etc.
My answer has been the same in every instance..... Tikka 6.5 Creed and a case of Hornady 143 ELD-X ammo.
SNIP...... am I totally out of my gourd?
For years, I've been telling people that all they need as a stainless/synthetic 308, 30-06 or 270 and a good 3-9 variable. Finally, I took that advice myself and thinned the herd to a pair of 30-06s, a 308, and a 7 Mag. I'm amazed at how much more time I have for things like going to the range, scouting, etc. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Whoa man.... no need to confuse the discussion with the interjection of facts and empirical evidence.

It's never been difficult to cypher,who shoots and who don't.
Bullets still matter more than headstamps.

Keep any two and ditch the others. You won't lose anything in capability and you'll have even more time for those other things.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
