Elk Bullets - LRX vs HHT

[BAKPAKR]

I shoot Hammers and LRX in a couple of rifles and killed game with both this season. With respect to your comment above, the slight BC edge to the LRX is eliminated by the speed you can achieve. I can drive a 162 HHT to 3090 in my 7mm Rem Mag but have to drop to a 145 LRX to achieve that speed. A comp weight LRX will be slower than a HHT due to surface contact relief.

Had the same in my .300 Rem Mag: the 182 HHT is about 140 FPS faster than the 175 LRX. Drop and drift are more affected inside 600 by the higher speed than a couple of points on the BC label.

From my limited experience, I would agree with you. My speeds at pressure with Barnes bullets have been lower than the speed at pressure with cup and core bullets of the same weight. Hammer bullets seem to meet or beat cup and core speeds.

Dear internet: I’m trying to get good reliable transportation for my 10 mile morning commute. I’ve had trouble getting my Yugo to be reliable and get me to work fast enough.

I’ve ruled out a Toyota Camry and all other sedans, SUVs, and pickups.

I’m considering switching to a unicycle or skate board. Which would you recommend? I considered a bicycle but they’re hard to find right now.

Anyway the answer is ELDX or ELDM, or a Berger. And definitely not monometals.
