I have a Weatherby Mark V Stainless in .338 Winchester Magnum. I want to build up a load using the 210 grain Barnes TSX Boat Tail. Does anyone have a starting load for this round? 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | ||

73gr of RL-19 Fed 215 primers and WW brass. I get right at 2925 fps out of a 24" barreled Custom Model 70. jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Not a TSX, but I use IMR 4350 with a 210 Nosler Partition. I use 72.5 gr and get 3050 fps from my 26" barrel A-Bolt with .75 MOA accuracy. The burn rate of 4350 and RL19 are pretty close as far as I know. Elite Archery and High Country dealer. | |||

From the Barnes manual, their top 3 recommended powders for the regular 210gr "X". Varget 57.5 @ 2625fps to max of 62.5 @ 2853fps IMR4320 58.5 @ 2615fps to max of 63.5 @ 2838fps IMR4350 64.0 @ 2682fps to max of 69.0 @ 2892fps Banes says that you can usualy go 1-2 grain more with the TSX. Let me know if you have a specific powder in mind and I'll look it up in the Barnes manual. | |||
