the 120 TTSX out of the Montana, the extra 19gr, higher B.C. and softer composition couldn't hurt.
The LRX is an excellent choice as I have been finding out in my 280. I gave up on CFE223 in my 7-08 due to large pressure changes with temperature- it’s near the worst on any temperature sensitivity list. I got good accuracy and amazing velocity though… Varget only lost me 100 fps and we all know how well it works. Temperature may not be an issue on your hunt.
