Sweet shooting, with any caliber at that distance. I've recently picked up a selection of Barnes TTSX, in 30 cal for my '06 and 308 NM, in 7mm for my 7x61 S&H plus some Barnes originals for my 348 WCF. If I get loads worked up for comparable accuracy to what you've achieved or to what I've done using say Sierra, you'll have another convert. Thanks again to you and BC Sportsman for your help and info over the last little while. As soon as I get back to B.C., let the testing games begin!Sask_Hunter

7mm ?
I've got some of the 210TTSX here for the .338, still waiting for my handle though...
they shot real good in my 338
These Barnes are really good bullets. I load the 180gr TSX's for my .300 Wby at almost 3,300 fps, and they give me groups of a little over 3/4" at 100 mts. Very good for me, if you consider that just a little under 1/2" is the best I've been able to do with this rifle at that distance, but with much milder ammo.
Expensive bullets, but they've made me a very happy camper.

They are fantastic aren't they?
Very nice!! I'm looking forward to getting back home and working up loads with the Barnes bullets I've recently acquired. By the way, what cartridge is that? 7mm Dakota or possibly a 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum?

7mm RUM with 54gr H 4350?
Try .284....
That's why I asked
, because I didn't know and where I presently am, the only hard copy of info I have available is the Hornady 7th edition. I did 'look at' the 284 but #1, there wasn't a load listing using H4350/140gr bullet combo & #2 from the picture in the post, the rim and neck didn't look like that of the 284, to me that is. Another possibility I considered, with the pictured non-belted case configuration was the 280 Remington/7mm Express Remington. A somewhat close load of 52.7grs of H4350 is listed but the shouldered section of that case looks different, to me. There are a few upper end 'items' in the 7mm family above with a similar case configuration that the case proporations could fit that of the picture. Possibly by slight error, perhaps the wrong load had been listed, I don't know, so again, that's why I asked!

.284 Winchester. and it looks like a goodun!...
Definately a group to be proud of. Thanks for the info/verification. I'll have to show that load and results
to a friend back home who has one in a model 88 Winchester.I picked up some Barnes TTSX in 120gr 140gr and 150gr for testing and load development in my 7x61 S&H. If I can get anywhere near that for a group I'll be ecstatic!!
a buddy shoots the 80gr TTSX in his 243 with IMR 4007ssc. 43.5 grs I think, 3250 fps and accurate. 44.5 is 3325 fps and about the same group.
