Got an email from Barnes. They will be making a bunch of the 200 TSX soon again.
I got reminders no many seller's websites out.

I got reminders no many seller's websites out. Excellant! I sent them an Email about 5 moths ago asking IF the 200TSX was discontinued as it no longer appeared on their site and a rep told me then that they had no plans of getting rid of them. With Nosler and Sierra not producing their 225s the 200TSX is about the only good elk bullet available for guys with a 2.8" mag box.

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

The barnes 200 ttsx is the cats "butt" in my 358 norma, 358 win, and now the 358 wsm. I have went lighter too with Barnes and they are a hammer too, but i think the 200 s fly just a bit better.

Really enjoying this post , as I will be in the process of some load development for my 660 Rem. Sold this to a friend about 5 years ago, and was able to get it back from him recently. I believe he got a case of "scope eye" from it ! I remember when I shot it years ago, had a few loads that shot reasonably well , but not sure what they were, so starting over. I am pretty sure one was the Nosler custom ammo load , with the 225 grain bullet . I have plenty of brass , and a wide arrange of bullets. I am thinking the 150 grain bullets might be good for the local whitetails around here, maybe at around 2800-2900 ? Will also be after black bear soon, and had heard good from a friend of mine who had good luck with the 200 grain RN Hornady, in a 358 Win . Bear hunt will be from a stand, average shots no more than 75 yds . Really need to buy some Barnes bullets and give them a try too, great accuracy with them in some other calibers .

I suggest using a mouth expander die, like the Lee Universal when seating the flat base Barnes. It was suggested to me, and has helped with concentricity. It doesn’t take much to open the mouth and hold the bullet.

Have been running 250gr speer's out of the 600 at around 2465fps. While it shoots, I'm not going to lie, that's a little bit much for me. Will probly back it down to 200gr or 225's an see if it is a lil more enjoyable to shoot

Pretty happy with the way the 150's shot. I guess they were originally for the Rem 35 , probably hard to find now.

I use the 180 gr Speer in my XP-100 pistol. It was hell on whitetail last year and unless I find something that shoots better I will use it again this year. I’ve got some 200 gr Hornady that I want to play with.
