165 or 180g TSX.Please.

The Barnes TSX is a realtively new bullet.

I have the latest Barnes reloading manual and it lists no loads for the TSX bullets.

You might try contacting Barnes directly for loading data.

TSX LINK

This link will modify the loads of the regular X bullets.

165 grain X with Barnes recommended powder:
start load--RL-19--71.0 grains**max--76.0
H4831--73.0*********max--78.0
IMR4350--67.0*******max--72.0
MRP--73.0***********max--78.0

180 grain X with Barnes recommended powder:
start load--AA2700--62.0 grains**max--67.0
XMR4350--64.0********max--69.0
H4350--65.0**********max--70.0
MRP--72.0************max--77.0

There are, of course, other powders listed. Do you have a favorite?

Thanks

onefunzr2,do they say which one was the most accurate? Is there a load with reloader 22?

FYI--I have the blue manual. In the preface the guy says he loves 77.5 re 22 under the 165 xbt. I just started playing with the win mag and after cross referencing alot of manuals that is the load i will start with and the 168 tsx.

Here's what the manual picks as max accuracy loads....again with the regular x's but these loads seem right up there with the other manuals and my Qucik load program. For some reason data is alot more consistant here than other manuals.

165 xbt accuracy loads MAX
76 re 19
78 h4831
78 mrp
72 i4350

for the 180....
70 h4350
77 mrp
they also show a max load of 75.5 of re 22 but do not list it as an accuracy loads and I can't tell you how many post's I've seen where people have sworn by 75-76 or re22!

No. Barnes manual is not like Sierra or Nosler.

165 XFB for RL22--start is 73.0, max is 78.0

180 XFB for RL22--start is 70.5, max is 75.5

If you're into speed, IMR4831 is tops for both weights in the listed 24" barrel.

Remember, like regular X bullets, TSX bullets should be seated ~.050" off the lands. They need a jump before engaging the rifling. Good luck!

thanks again guys,i bought the barnes manual number 3 today
