Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Barnes Loading Manual

Has Barnes released a new book with TSX info yet???

I am wanting to know what they have listed as Max loads for
RL22, RL25 and H-1000 in 210 TSX ala 338RUM.

I've been using Nosler info and am finding that I get pressure signs as I approach 2-3 grains below max.

Seems like Barnes keeps pushing back the release date on the new loading manual.

You can go on Barnes' website and find TSX load data, I believe,under "Copper Club."
However, there is a 50 dollar fee to join, IIRC.

Manual is scheduled for release in Feb 08 now. I have a bunch of 225 gr TSX's just waiting to load for my 35 Whelen!!

Thats been my findings as well. TSX's still drive pressures somewhat higher than standard bullets.

most of the telephone data I've gotten from them on TSX testing is 1-2 gr below what is listed in #3 for the X bullets.

Interesting as I would expect the TSX to be less "sticky" than the X thinking that the grooves would reduce bullet to bore contact?

IMO, Barnes was a little "optimistic" with their max loads in #3 and have since backed off a little.

Why then do the TSXs come with a little insert that says you can load them 1-2 grains higher than the original X? Have they backed off on that statement?

get the actual pressure tested data from them (by phone if it's not on the website).
several weights of several calibers list max TSX loads LOWER than the max X loads published in #3.
the Barnes line is an experiment in progress....

You can find some of the load data here......They have the 338-06,338WM and 338 Fed but not the RUM. Ty should have it by phone though.
