I need a few loads from the latest Barnes #3, the blue one.

260 Remington

I'd like some loads for the 140 gr. X (regular copper), with powders 4350 and slower. Please list MAXIMUM loads, the charge weight and velocity.

Also, the loads for the 140 gr. XLC (blue coated), with the same powders.

416 Remington Magnum

Do they list Hodgdon Varget for the 300 gr. X. If they do, what is the MAXIMUM powder charge and the velocity.

I know somebody will chime in and tell me to buy the book, but I just need these 2 loads. I've done searches here at AR, and have turned up nothing. I'd help out a fellow reloader if he needed some info from a book he doesn't have.

A pard borrowed my copy,should nobody respond by the AM,I'll hunt it up and lay it on you..........

I'll enter your second request after I watch my sports report if still needed.

Your answer to the question of varget and the 416 is..... no, sorry.
If you want any other information out of Barnes#3 just ask, no problem.

Boilerroom,

Thanks alot. When Barnes says *best powder*, is that what they reccomend as most accurate in their test rifle?

Also, do they show Hodgdon 4350 or 4831 for the 140 gr. X & XLC?

Thanks again, I guess I'll try H4895 in the 416 this spring.

* recommended powder

No. I gave all the listings for those 140's.

I might as well add the listing for H4895

86.0gr. 2917fps with fed 215 prim and 24" barrel. That is their recommended powder also.
