I'm looking for some load data for the Barnes Triple Shock in 110 grains for .270 Win.

I can't seem to find it on the Barnes web site--I've got the bullets, but none of my reloading manuals have a 110 gr. load data.

I like the 4350's and Win 760 powders--if anyone has some data for those powders--

Thanks--Don

Call or e-mail them--they are usually very good about faxing a page from their data for bullets that aren't in there manual.

BUT here's some data that may (or may not) help read between the lines......

ALL ARE MAX LOADS....

Barnes blue manual
100 gr. max load h414 59.0
max load h4350 60.0
max load i4350 59.0

120 gr. max load h414 57.0
max load h4350 56.0
max load 760 57.0

hornday manual
110 gr max load I4350 58.4
max load 760 55.2
max load h4350 59.7

hodgdon manual
110 gr max load I4350 56.0
max load 760 56.0

I guess the bottom line is there is conflicting data. Again barnes would be a best source.
When I run into strange bullet weights I try to read between the closest two. 100 grain and 130 are common bullet wts for the 270. Split the difference in some manuals and work up from there.

Don, are you looking at these to reduce recoil, or what is the reason you are considering the 110 over the 130 grs, say?? (If you don't mind my asking??).

I was looking at these bullets myself - who can resist the lure of higher muzzle velocities... But I personally came to the conclusion, that for long range shooting, the 130 grs TSX would probably be the better alternative. In spite of higher muzzle velocities of the 110 grs, the advantage is almost all gone at 300 yds, and you buy that with higher wind deflection.

The 110 grs bullets are also pretty short - compared to the admittedly long 130 grs TSX. So consider whether that will work in your particular chamber. In mine, I needed the longer bullet to get close to the lands.

Not wanting to rain on your parade, just wanted to share my thoughts on these bullets. I can certainly see an application for the 110 grs in the new "6.8 mm" catridges.

Kraky, thanks--the only data I already had was that from Hogdon--that is helpful info!

mho, I was looking to fool around with these in thoughts of making a really flat shooting rig for my newfound fondness for Antelope. I think the terminal performance will be more than adequate, and I have several other .270's on the exact same platform (i.e. same action and stock) and felt it would be good to keep the consistency from one to the other. I haven't really looked at the trajectory tables or thought about the wind drift factor to be honest. It is definitely worth the thinking on the wind for sure, in the open terain of the Pronghorn, wind is often a real factor......

I have a rig that Hill Country reworked for me with a light McMillan stock and a SAKO Finnlite action, it is really shooting the 130 NBT's well, into about 1.5" to 2" pretty consistently at 200 with quite a bit of wind. On a really still day at the range I got a couple of 3 shot groups into an inch or less, but with 5 shots I always threw a proverbial 'wing shot' into the mix to open them up to 2" or more.

I read a lot about <1" groups at 200, but don't see very many at the range-- out of sporting rifles anyway--I've only shot a few myself.......

Regards--Don
