Shadow, That the load Barnes has on its website as the #1 powder for the 130 TTSX. What makes it a potent killer at way out there is the energy it carries at 300-400 yards...like 1400 or better at 300 yds, and still packing 2200-2300 velocity at 300. Set it up at 2.0" high at 100 you only drop between 5 and 6" at 300 yds, so a hold on center of chest will clip lungs/heart at that range. Killed buck at 320 yards at last shooting light doing exactly this...dropped in his tracks.

HEY ALL...I too use the Barnes 130 TTSX in my 308's...I worked up to Barnes max load of 51gr TAC in Winchester cases for my Ruger No. 1 308 ANNIV....3155fs...22"bbl
BUT...had to cut the load of TAC to 49gr in Starline cases and still got 2960fps in my Ruger SR762 16"bbl...Starline cases are MUCH heavier than WIN...we all know that....
both rifles and loads..7 deer out to 227yds....seven B F D R N......not to mention these 2 loads are under 1MOA in both weapons......

Seems like the OP hasn't been back since November, but copper to the tip sounds like what they put in the fusion.
