Range Report Magnetospeed report - 6.5CM 127gr LRX

[WoobieJ]

Magnetospeed report from range today:

Barnes VOR-TX 127gr LRX
Muzzle Velocity AVG: 2861 (suppressed) / S.D. 12.7 / E.S. 38

Rifle:
DMR LLC built 6.5 Creedmoor / 24" Proof Carbon Fiber 1:8 / Q ThunderChicken

The Barnes 127gr LRX held a consistent 0.75 MOA. BallisticsARC app (geoballistics) was accurate with holds (verified at 100, 200, 500 yards). My barrel really loves the 140-147gr hornady ELD-M, ELD-X, BTHP bullets, as well as the Nosler ABLR 142gr (routinely 0.25-0.3 MOA) so I was pretty happy it tolerated a 127gr projectile as well as it did.

Weather:
77 F / 27.73mmHg / RH% 38% / DA 3915

In the few rifles I like to use the Barnes TSX bullets in there can be a big improvement in accuracy depending on how far they are being jumped.
It might be worth a quick seating depth test if you haven't done it allready.

i've heard that as well, and I'll definitely look at it in the future, but at the moment I don't reload. I'm wanting to start though.

I misunderstood you then but if your rifle is shooting that well with factory ammo I can see why you are leaving it alone.
I might have to give the Barnes VOR-TX 127 factory a go in mine as well just to see what it does.
