Should also say the wound channel is the most consistent I've had with any bullet. From over 4k down to 1800fps they operate very similar. Very consistent wound channel.

They are nothing alike, completely different design and alloy!! Cutting edge marketed the crap out of their product for longer, performance counts in the long run and Hammers best them in the hunting market hands down CE dominates the ELR.

I shot a good number of animals with CEB MTH bullets and the accuracy was excellent but terminal performance was sub par consistently in both elk and deer. Talked with them at SHOT about it and see if they had a suggestion why they were sucking and it was abundantly clear by the instant line of BS excuses they had that they knew the issue and had zero intention or clue how to fix it, terminal performance is not their game!!

I think the LRX has addressed this, however, I don't use them in anything launching below 3000fps, so no experience with say LRX 6.5mm 127g out of my 6.5x47 Lapua or 260AI. I have them, but my 264WM & 6.5-300 Weatherby both launch them above 3200fps.
I may have to give them a thorough test in those two.
Cheers.
I have enjoyed and learned some things on this thread. I lost my hunting lease so it has created more tinker time, thus the question about CEB. I shot Barnes for years then relegated them to anything with a mv over 3k much like Magnum Maniac. However I do like an exit wound and mono's have come a long way. They have always been easier for me to find a good load with than a bonded bullet.
Wow. Thanks.

This was my thought as well. The lrx I took a deer with this fall behaved very different than TTSX. The copper is much softer in the front. It shed weight and mushroomed almost like a bonded bullet.

It's was supposed to address that. It is better but still has not proven to me to be anywhere near as reliable. I have not shot a ton of them compare to the others but it seems they did work on the issue but still doesn't seem to do what CeB does or hammers.
