25-06 barnes tsx load info

[shooter mcgavin]

Hi, does anyone have load info for Barnes 100tsx in 25-06 using H4350 or
IMR 4350. I have lots of this powder on hand and I hear they are both good
in this caliber.

I would start at 46gr of either powder and work up...

Manual 3 from Barnes says you can start at 47gr and work up to a Max of 51 grains, you may want to work up 1/2 gr at a time. FS

Fassteel, thanks for looking up in the manual that load information for me but I
don't know which one of those 2 powders it is for. I know that the 2 powders
are pretty close to each other but they are different.

Barnes Reloading manual #4 doesn't list either 4350 for the 25-06.

They both have the same minimum in #3, 47gr. I would still start at 46gr for the TSX...

These loads are for MY GUN, you should work up to them.

Depending on the lot of powder, I use 53gr of IMR4350, or 55.5gr. Both of these loads produce ~3300fps from my Tikka and show no pressure signs. They are both max loads with 2 different lots of IMR4350.

The data is the same for both powders, interchangeable you might say, not always, but in this case yes. FS

I sent an email off to Barnes customer support and they just got back to me with what looks like load information out of the #3 Barnes manual. As it turns out, I went and bought some RL22 since it is listed in #4 manual and was avail
locally so I will go with a midrange load to start for this years hunt and then try
to work up an accuracy load when I get back. Thanks to all for the great advice, you were all right in the ball park for load suggestions.
