Anyone see these?

Welp, I was already leaning towards a 6prc for this extra magnum bf tikka I have. I guess this seals the deal

Nice !! Might have to build a 6 Creed + Peak after all.

Ultimate reloader just did a video on them.

Anyone know how the LRHT do as killing bullet? I have a 6SST and have some of the new 116 but these have my interest as well.

Some serious G7. 115 Dtacs, 116 TMK’s and now these. So many great 6mm heavy options.

I killed a handful of animals with LRHT’s. From 50-800 yards. My muzzle velocities are at 3100fps and I havent seen any issues with the wounds yet personally.

I’ve seen subpar performance from the 245 LRHT at 1000ish yards that was started at 2900fps from a buddy though.

I'm a little leary of the closed tips getting reliable expansion !

Correct me if I’m wrong here @huntnful but haven’t you used a meplat trimmer on the lrht in the past?

I know I read a post or thread on here that the meplat on the lrht is almost closed. guys have trimmed it back, opening the tip for more reliable expansion. I could be off base too

I have used a meplat trimmer, but never on the LRHT’s I don’t think. Just used it on the hybrid targets. But my last couple batches of bullets have had pretty nice meplats, so I haven’t been touching them. I just put a drill bit in the tips of the bullets I take on the big game hunts.

That’s it. Thank you for the correction.

I believe that they don't rely on that "opening" in the tip as a mechanism to start disruption. The nose breaks off to start that process.
