Thread: GMX

I showed the recovered projectile to a high flyer who said"that's perfect performance ". It probably was, I don't know. My old man basically said I wouldn't touch those fn things again. And said the Ol 303 would have done for for less...I thought that the evening prior when I had to put the poor animal down!
No, the animal was broadside and in a clear spot. Definitely no deflection at all.
At the time I figured the velocity may have been too extreme? But... it was with a ....7mm08.
I haven't recovered any TTSX or TTX either. Interlock yes, accubond yes. In .284 and 308.
For me the meat damage was one thing but seeing deer run like they were. Hell, my .44 drops them on the spot within 70m. I'm no expert, obviously, but I wouldn't touch them, again.

Well thanks for the honest appraisal, I shal proceed with caution.
The run a bit is quite common with barnes if they are not going fast enough, yep they open but just cut a hole from one side to the other, they need speed to deliver shock and drop em right there.

As I say I have only seen the gmx on game out of a hotrod 6.5 and they work really well, my concern was weather I would get them fast enough to work. Your experience reminds me that bullet type performance is not necessarily transferable accross caliber.
