BCSteve, any load data? I've got a couple boxes of them for a .375 Ruger (20" Howa), but data is pretty thin on the ground. Nonexistent, actually. I've googled my azz off, have several of the major manuals, contacted Barnes directly, and all I've got is direction to start somewhere between a 235 and 270 gr TSX.
83.5gr of H4350 gives me 2700fps in my 20" Ruger Alaskan.
That seems quite slow? With a max book load of Big Game/270 TSX I'm getting 2700+ out of a 20" Ruger Alaskan. A guy should be able to get 2800+ with the 250?
With a 20" 375 Ruger, I've found I can get at least 100 fps greater with RL 17 over RL 15 at what is my best guess of comparable pressures. But with RL 17, my 270 and 300 bonded grainers were more accurate than the 250 ttsx.
Have you tried Accubonds? Good BC's and I have heard they work well with wide range of impact velocity. I'll try them when I use up the bullets I have.
