Does anybody know , what are the Barnes recomendations on min and max loads for 300WSM in IMR 4350 . I just got a box as a present.

Is that the original barnes x,the xlc,or the tsx?

It is TSX

 

[stubblejumper]

Barnes advises to simply use the data for the standard x bullet,but that you might be able to increase the charge a grain or two with the tsx.I use the 180gr tsx myself and just work up from the starting load for the powder with a standard bullet like a nosler or a sierra.I find that the tsx will show pressure signs a couple of grains below the standard bullets,but will develop more velocity before doing so.

The new data is posted on the website for copperclub members. It amazes me they are still putting that note that you may be able to exceed the manual. All the new data is down substantially forthe previous manual

this from soon to be released Barnes #4
300 wsm IMR 4350 start 57.5 gr for 2723 fps max 65.5 for 3003 fps.
Stubble jumpers experience is the same as mine.
