I wondering what the collective experience has been out there with LRX bullets and preferred jump. I know each rifle has its own particular preferences but I am wondering if there seems to a more predictive pattern with the LRX. I know Barnes suggests .05" as a start for TSX/TTSX but wonder if that holds the same for LRX. Just an impression, but it kind of looks like there is more bearing surface on LRX bullets than TSX/TTSX so should maybe expect something different. I could be out to lunch on that. What have you folks out there found seems to work best? Comments?
Barnes LRX Bullets -- suggestions for jump?

Of course, your rifle itself may be the determining factor as to bullet "jump" to the lands.
In my experience with the LRX, I have successfully used the same jump as I use with the TTSX [7x57, 280 Rem, 30-06, 308 Norma Mag.]
This is usually somewhere close to Barnes' recommendation of .050"
You will need to experiment a bit to find out how your rifle responds. Regards, Dave.

That is my experience as well.
