Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Barnes TTSX

Well I got some more 300 mags loaded, used the same load of RL17, just changed the distance to the rifling. I went .030 off the lands on each one, shooting 5 shots each.

First pict is 165 TTSX, .050 off

Second pict is 165 TTSX, .030 off


Third is 180 WinchPP, .050 off

Fourth is 180 Winch PP, .030 off


Fifth is 180 Nosler Part, .050 off(rough trace)

Sixth is 180 Nos Par, .030 off


Pretty interesting the Barnes are a lot better, the 180 Winch and Noslers got worse with the .030 off. I am planning to back the 180s back to .050 and changing the powder charges, not close to max yet.

I just started to reload some TTSX in my 30.06 so far all my loads have no bands visible. I got an excellent group first time out and shot a second that opened up a little but seems to be accurate enough.

Likely why the Partitions aren't shooting yet.....

What are velocities?

Haven't chronographed yet but the book speed is 2900fps, the Barnes at 3000fps. Noslers shoot better at max better?

Given how the TTSX is shooting .030" off why bother with the Nosler? I'd call it done with the Barnes.
