Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 180gr TTSX in 358Win?

Anyone have first-hand reloading experience or on game performance with this bullet in 358Win?

Anyone try TAC with it?

Nope, but the 200 gr TTSX and TAC work like a champ.

Thanks, Ed.

Any issues with seating depth and powder compression with TAC?

Nope

Not TAC or 180's but 48 grs of RL-10 will settle in real well under a 200 gr TTSX for a COL of 2.800" and a vel of 2700 fps with excellent accuracy in my Ruger Hawkeye 358W.

It's a real kickass load in the little stubber.

Hey--thanks Gunner! Good to know.

Been using 225 NP but thought I'd try something different with the 180's and TAC. No data available, that I can find anyway!

Yo welcome WN, always good to have another good load to try in case you don't find what you're looking for with your current picks.

I'd never steer ya wrong Buddy.

I emailed Barnes and asked them. They sent me original XFB and told me use it. I can't paste it from phone bc it's a PDF. PM me your email and I'll forward it to you. Just please post it here for everyone once you get it.

*LOL* Gunner, I'm still laughing about that 38-55 lead bullet that went length-wise through that TN porker! You da man!

But you know us young guys, always looking for something sleeker and faster!

Thanks, Tarheel. I emailed Barnes and never got a reply so far.

If I don't get a reply, I'll PM you. AND, will post it.

Sleeker and faster will make ya throw yer back out, but I am similarly afflicted at times.
