My expeience with the TSX would make me wonder how well the LRX will expand at lower velocity. on the other hand the Berger is a hollow point so at closer ranges it's going to expand too fast. I'm sure the tip on the LRX will help, but guys I know who've tried the TTSX say maybe noth enough. I haven't tried the tipped Barnes myself.
I think if long range is really the object I'd stick to the Berger. for an all around bullet the Barnes is pretty darn good. there never has been a bullet perfect for every possible shot.
Stay thirsty my friends

LAST EDITED ON Apr-30-13 AT 04:22PM (MST)[p]I shoot the 140 accubonds out of my 280. 3100 FPS over 58.3 grains of r19. Under half inch groups. Great bullet and have had great one shot kills the last two years on 2 deer and a bull. You won't be disappointed. I'm now going to mess around with 140 bergers and see what they will do.
