Why so slow Brad?? Do the Barnes bullets eat up that much "Boiler Room?"
Just curious... My Kimber Montana runs 165 Partitions and Speers 2761 AVG (Lapua case, Fed 210M, 165 Partition, 45.5 grains Varget) and its spooky accurate too. I was into the mid 2900's with 150 gr. Speer Hot-cors, RL15 and Varget. But the accuracy sucked compared to the 165's.
Honestly I'm not sure if you're kidding!
A 150 TSX from a 22" barrel at 2,870 is slow?
I've run 150's just over 2,900 and gotten terrific accuracy but I'm just not one that red-lines handloads.
