- They all function to similar velocities. The 168gr and 175gr LRX will open up at a lower velocity (around 1600 ft/s) than the 165gr (around 1800 ft/s). For best performance we recommend keeping impact velocity a few hundred feet above this minimum.

The minimum velocity required for proper expansion of a Barnes LRX bullet depends on the specific caliber and bullet weight. It is recommended to consult the Barnes Reloading Manual or their website for specific details regarding the minimum velocity requirements for each LRX bullet.
May 23, 2020 · Whenever I need to shoot deers I use Barnes TTX bullets. Attached is a photo of a 100 grain .257 bullet taken from a dead deer shot at 351 yards with a .25 Souper (.25-.308) at a MV of about 3,000 fps, using the hollow point version.
Aug 3, 2016 · FWIW, I asked Barnes about the minimum velocity for the 139gr 7mm LRX and got this reply: An impact velocity of 1400 fps will get you about 1.7x expansion of the bullet’s original diameter. If 2x expansion is desired then add approximately 100-200 fps.
Apr 20, 2021 · I shoot the Barnes 6.5 127gr LRX in my Tikka 6.5x55 & Savage 260 Rem. Since most all my shots are under 200 yds/m, impact velocity would be high. At least 2400 fps, I would guess. . My muzzle velocity out of both rifles is just slightly over 2900 feet per second. Used on deer & elk they perform perfectly.
May 5, 2020 · " As for the expansion, there is no max velocity or too fast to expand. You can push them as fast as you want. All they need is to impact the animal at the minimum velocity needed or faster.
