You may get a bit more speed and less drop than a conventional 140, and it is like throwing a blender blade through your target. DRT.

Right at a year start to finish, including a several month delay in the middle that was on me trying to sort out pattern stocks. I finally asked Mr. Kobe to source one, which he did.

Might have some 127gr LRX's from a previous project. However, will probably start off old school with 100/125gr NPT and/or 154/160gr RN.
