All of which leads me to ask...What powder(s), and how much, would you all recommend as a baseline starting point for loading the 270 and 300 gr. TTSX's?

Thanks in advance,

I'm assuming you have a Barnes load manual then. I'd consult that and start somewhere in the middle to upper charge wt's with a good powder like H4350 or RL15 and work up until you find a good accuracy node for YOUR rifle...No shortcuts here, as every rifle is different..If your rifle shoots as good as it looks, you'll have no problem finding a few sub moa loads for it...Good luck!!
