Got the best groups, during load developement, out of my stock Savage Model 116 weather warrior w/ accu stock, using the Barnes 80gr. TTSX's. Better than 1/2" @ 100yards, using IMR 4064, I think 51gr's, but don't quote me on that, don't have my load manual with me (I am @ work). I did not chron. load but I am guessing that it is around 3500fps. I posted this same question about a month ago, search back through older post for more info.

I'm running 80 TTSX's out of my custom 25-06 over IMR 4831 at a chrono'd 3515 fps. Not a max load, but super accurate from my 24" barrel and plenty fast enough for yotes and deer here in Georgia.

Have only busted a yote so far with this load. Broadside, 80 yds through both lungs. He spun around for a bit and died right there. The exit was about 3/4" diameter.

From the Barnes website for more load info:

Give Ty a call or email at Barnes for more load info.

Good luck!

Here, John has used it a fair bit. I've used the 85gr X quite a bit.

I load 56.0g of IMR 4350 with a Win primer in Win brass with the 85g Tripple shock, unreal accurate out of my 700 Stainless, this may help you out with the 80's.
