just ordered some to try in my 700. any loading suggestions? seating depths, barrel cleaning, fouling, etc?? so far the only powders that show good accuracy in my rifle are H4350, H414 and IMR4831. i know i will try both of them.

I load 62gr RL17 and the 165gr TSX to max OAL (2.850" ??) for 3075fps. I know most guys use more powder than that, but mine shows pressure signs if I do it.
I always start with a clean bore when shooting the TSX in any of my rifles. I then shoot a fouling shot and I'm good to go.

66 grain of H4350 at 2.840 does crazy accurate things with my Sako A7 in .300 WSM and 168 TTSXs.
Getting right at 3100 with this load.

tired of hearing how good they shoot, figure its time i find out. my 700 is very picky and has offered me man fits in the past. i know the tsx shot very well in my .25/06, hoping for the same results.

Well that's got to mean something.
Three guys in a row with good luck using H4350 between 65-66 grains and the bullet in question.

I've used RL15 and 168's before in the 300WSM - scary accurate!

66.5 RE17 & the 168TTSX is sub-moa for me.
