[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1615786, member: 92230"] Agree, I have a 7 mag, shot both these and the factory Barnes TTSX 150’s at identical accuracy. I made handloads for both bullets with RL26 and was able to duplicate performance (only slightly better than factory). I really wanted to settle on the TTSX 150’s because I want to shoot as heavy as possible in the barnes. Ultimately, since the 150’s and the 139’s shoot identically, and since my handloads are only marginally more accurate, I decided to save myself a lot of time and just shoot factory. With that, the 139 LRX’s are almost $10/box cheaper than the 150 TTSX. I shot a black bear with handload 150’s last Spring, then switched to factory 139 LRX and killed a Sitka BlackTail, a 6-pt elk and a 4-pt mulie last fall. Rl-26 mimics performance of factory loads and I get almost identical velocity with my 22” barrel. [/QUOTE]
