Barnes 155 LRX- Load Development for 6.8 Western- Part 1

These are my first steps with creating a load for the 6.8 Western using the Barnes 155 LRX. Please reload at your own risk and please consult with published reloading data for this bullet and powder.

Liking the Barnes LRX 155 content. Great Work, nice to see you back at it!

[@jamesmooney5348]

Looking forward to the next videos....Good job ob on explaining

[@Stu.E.]

Awesome job with all things 6.8! and thank you for sharing

[@TheTonygong]

Awesome, thanks!

[@Mattytube18]

Try vihtavuori 560 or 565 for that projectile weight.

[@roguesummithunter]

I will add that to the list of powders, thank you.

[@Hudge76]

Thanks! MidwayUSA did not have them last I checked and Barnes will not ship to address for us Alaskans.

[@roguesummithunter]

I just checked midway, they have them in stock.

[@daleschmidt9413]

Awesome job , I used the same powder with the test load I made

[@FSU1HEMI1]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. LOAD DATA IS IMPORTANT PART OF RELOADING. WHY NOT USE THE PART OF THE TOOL THAT MAKES ADJUSTMENTS ON THE .005 NON CONCENTRIC, AND BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE OTHERS IT REALLY WORKS I HAVE THE SAME TOOL

In a Google search I found 180g woodleigh Bullet, says discontinued, couldn’t get it to fly right in a 270 Winchester but I bet it would have been good in a 6.8 western

[@Tyanmax99]

Do you have an expected velocity for these?

[@roguesummithunter]

I'm hoping for 2800-2850.

[@Stewart7516]

Who makes Browning brass? I thought they were the same as winchester/ olin ?

[@roguesummithunter]

Yes, Winchester makes it. It is head stamped as Browning. My apologies for the confusion.

[@Hudge76]

Where did you find the 155 gr. LRX’s at? Did you order. Straight from Barnes, as that is the only place I’ve seen them.

[@roguesummithunter]

@@Hudge76 correct, I ordered straight from Barnes. Midway USA also has them in stock.

[@Stewart7516]

@roguesummithunter what velocities were you getting out of these bullets? I am very intrigued. It feels like Berger just breathed a little bit more life into the 6.8 western, let's hope they start loading factory ammo for this caliber.

[@roguesummithunter]

@@Stewart7516 I havent shot them yet. I'll be posting a range session video with velocity number.

[@SD_HUNTING_FISHING]

Need to start a discord group so we can visit real time

[@user-mp5jg2wl7v]

Y just stay with the 7 mag it wins all the way around.. it's non sense

[@roguesummithunter]

I don't have a 7 Mag, and wanted to try something different.
