Can someone please post the data for the .308 Win with the 130 gr and the 150 gr Barnes X, XLC, TSX out of the Barnes data book?


Many many thanks!
Mike

There is no data for the TSX. They say use standard X-bullet data. I have the book but not with me. Do yourself a favor and buy the book. It's a nice manual with stories and lots of color pictures. You might also want to email them as they may respond with the info.

I already wrote Barnes a few days ago but got no reply so far.

I just need the reloading data urgently therefore if someone has the book by hand please post the data for the barnes x = tsx for the .308 Win with the 130 gr and the 150 gr bullet.

What powders do you have--I have the book at home but don't have a way to scan it, or I could just list their "accuracy loads" I think they have a star by about 3 of thebest loads for either wt.

Ok--308 with reg xbt.....

prefered start max
RL12 44.0 48.0
i3031 41.0 45.0
i4064 44.0 48.0

with xlc coating
i4895 44.0 48.0
748 47.5 51.5

For what it's worth just glancing at the data they only let you go .5 to 1.0 more grains powder with the xlc coating. I would think you could pretty much use any 125/130 data to develop the 130 tsx data--I'd start about midway between start and max of 125's. As a matter of fact I just looked at the data barnes supplies on 125 bullets and 130 and guess what--the data is IDENTICAL for all powders. With the tsx supposedly reducing pressure I would feel safe working around 125 data. I have some of the 130 tsx's on hand and it is amazing how little "bearing surface" there will be contacting the barrel. Basically a tiny amount just above the boattail, the middle ring, and a tiny amount just below the olgive. I'm guessing a total of .175" at most.

Oh yes--the 150's
regualar xbt best accuracy.
