My buddy sent me 5 of the 95 gr lrx to try while I waited for them to hit the shelves around here. I plopped them in a 240 Weatherby with a 27" pacnor 1:7 twist over 50 grains of vv n160 primers were fed 210m
Shot over a magneto speed sporter
3438, 3445,3443, 3429
there's some potential here I think its Nice to have a tipped, modestly weighted lead free 6mm option. 3550-3600 shouldn't be an issue either if one was so inclined. Unfortunately I dont think they'll stabilize in a factory bee with 1:10

Wow! It’s about time!

What does Barnes suggest for twist?

That’s pretty serious accuracy and speed. I bet that sucker would be hard to hold inside an animal as well.

Be neat if Nosler T’ed up an ABLR for us fast twist 243 guys.

Yes, a 105 gr ABLr would be spectacular !
I emailed nosler about that when hornady released the 103 and 108 eld and they said they weren't considering a 6mm ablr but they'd send the request up the ladder.
I wont hold my breath, some things going on with noslers ability to produce bullets and brass/ammo for their flagship cartridges

Yeah, we live in great times huh? Cannot beat the amount of great Bullets. Hoping the rifle makers start to keep up with offering some twist rates to support them.

Gotta re-tube my 240 Bee then!

Man, I’d think Weatherby would really be on to something with a 1-7 twist 240... I know I’d enjoy one of them.
 
Have you tried the Nosler 90 gr. E-tips. They sure work on game and shoot well in my son's 6mm Remington with a 1-9 twist. Those look impressive the one's you shot. Nosler says 403 BC for the 90 gr. My boy has taken 3 antelope, a couple deer, and a cow elk with that bullet. Shot his cow broadside at 350 yards tight behind her right shoulder. It exited the center of her left shoulder and she staggered about 20 yards and tipped over.
 
My 240 Bee currently shoots 100 grain partitions at 3425 fps and .51" at 100 yards. Using Reloder 26.
