51grs with a 200gr TSX gives about 2700fps from a 22" tube.
Will the Barnes open up at 250 - 300 yards. I 've had issues in the past with the tsx not opening in smaller calibers.
How compressed is that load and I m assuming that's a max load since its way over Ramshots loading data.
If I reduced 15% and worked up would that be ok?
Also what was the COAL ON that load?
Sorry for all the additional questions.
I shoot the 225 gr. TSX at 2710 FPS from my .35 Whelen and it sure as hell opened up on a cow elk at 350 yards laser measured. I did not recover the bullet and it may still be traveling along. I've shot five elk with that load so far and have not recovers a bullet. Shots have ranged from 150 to 350 yards. I think that 200 at 2700 FPS or close to it should workOK to 300+ yards. Paul B.
