What do you think of the Barnes LRX 175grs bullets, for my 30-06spr.
For moose first. 0 to 400 yds.
It should be released around 2800f / s.

The ttsx168grs seems to be appreciated, but the LRX offers better BC. ??
I read that it should expensioned 2x ttsx width, or if it opens more easily, this should be good, given the low rate of 30-06?

What do you think of that?
 
2800 fps will be a max load for a 175. You need to work up the load using proper data, not just pick one and hope. Barnes isn't showing that bullet on their data page, but a 180 maxes at 2742 with Big Game powder.
400 is too far for any hunting shot with any bullet, unless you can hit a 9" pie plate every time at that distance.
