I was wondering if anyone had any loads they would share for the barnes XBT 100gr. bullets I just got. I dont have a Barnes book so I was thinkin this would be the place to look. The powders I have right now are IMR4831, IMR4895, Re19 & Re22. Are there any loads for the 100gr. Barnes I can use this powder with?
Thx
Will

Quoting from Barnes #3 manual

100Gr XBT/XFB (NOTE: If you are using XLC's data is different)

RE19
Start 51.0gr 3062fps
Max 55.0 3302fps (Fastest load listed)

RE22
Start 51.0 3048fps
Max 55.0 3287fps

IMR4831
start 49.0 2975fps
Max 53.0 3218fps

IMR4895 is outside the range of propellants usually
used for the 25-06

Other good propellents:
XMR3100
H4350
IMR4350
H450

You are quite welcome!

I burned up my last 25-06 barrel before I ever saw a Barnes X bullet, but my 25-06 always worked best with IMR4350.
