Non lead bullets and performance at distance

[willfrye027]

Yes, I should have said that. 270win. A side by side comparison would be great.

Well I stand corrected. Compared your LRX load to a 150gr VLD (can run in 1:10 twist, G1 .518). Not a dramatic difference in hit rates at 600 yards 10in circle.

Set at 1.5 moa precision, 10fps SD

Using 10mph with 4mph uncertainty in wind call it’s 47% for the LRX and 50% for the Berger.

5mph with 2mph uncertainty it’s 72% vs 75%

I guess the BC on the LRX is decent (if not inflated).

Still would not personally shoot something beyond 500 yards with them, personally.

Compared to my 25 creedmoor with match bullets the hit rates are 15-18% higher..similar with 22 and 6.5 creedmoor.

Appreciate that you took the time to run it and post it up. Thank you.
