thanks. 2350 is too hot (in my view anyway) for an 1895 Winchester even though it's a new one. Running 55.5 now and groups are at 1"@ 50 yards, a bit bigger than with the TSXs. NFs are great bullets but at 90 bucks a box (yikes!) I might stick with the TSXs. They also will probably penetrate more.
Jorge,
All things considered, I'd say you're pretty well set with your RL-15 load pushing the 300 gr Barnes TSX bullets at 2250 fps. You're getting good accuracy with a bullet that will maximize the potential of the .405 cartridge.
I've never used Barnes bullets but I know you're a fan of them. Just based on what I've read and what others have to say about the TSX bullets, I think they should work just fine on about anything you'd hunt with a .405 Winchester.
I think you found a great load early on with your handloading for the .405. Why fight success?
Cheers!
