Hi, I finally broke down and bought a box of 130 grain Barnes TSX bullets for my 300 Savage. Barnes's reloading manual doesn't list the 300 Savage,so I thought I'd asked here if somebody has a favorite powder/load. I know Steelhead uses it but I never saved the load he listed. Thanks.

I asked Barnes last week about load data for the TTSX/TSX for the 300 Savage. Below is their response.

Farr, Ryan (RyanFbarnesbullets.com)
To:you Details
I have attached load data for the X bullet, you can use that data with the TSX/TTSX bullets just fine.


Thank You
