djpaintlesNew Barnes Manual.........When?
With all the new triple shock bullets out, I would very much like a manual that had detailed data for them. Anyone heard when one might be coming out? I think that Hodgdens annual manual was a great idea, maybe Barnes could do this for the interim......DJ

ShopCartRacingBarnes is a pretty slow company when it comes to new data.
I cannot see them publishing an interim magazine.
In regard to the TSX bullets, I would assume that they take the same loads as the regular X-Bullets.

Dave In LBForgive me for this but Barnes just put out it's manual No. 3 just a few years ago. Not likely to see a new one for quite some time. However if you call or email Barnes and aske them to send you an Excel Spreadsheet of loads for your particular caliber and bullet weights and mention the powders you will use , they will send it to you. I have quite a few of those emails from them regarding different componets for my 308.

Bob257I know they're working on a new one now. They've started to get some input from their advisory staff.
