120gr TSX load for 6.5x55?

[HeadDamage]

Can I use load data for other 120gr 6.5mm bullets to load the Barnes TSX or does in require it's own data?

Thanks.

Barnes rule regarding TSX is to use the regular X bullet data and you MAY be able to increase the max by 1-2 grain.

So where to I get regular X bullet data short of buying a barns manual?

From me

6.5x55 with regular 120X

RL19......min.45gr @2719fps......max.49gr@2961fps
H414......min.42gr@2709fps......max.46gr@2967fps
H4350.....min.43gr@2755fps......max.47gr@3011fps
IMR4831..min.45gr@2696fps......max.49gr@2936fps

These were the most common powders listed and recommended RL19 and H4350.

That bullet kills well, out of proportion to its size. A buddy's daughter used it to kill a nice bull moose, one shot, full penetration through both lungs and heart. You'll like it!

Any chance you have some Varget and IMR4350 data as well?
