303 British and Barnes TSX

[.303]

Does anyone use this combination? I have a 303 I use a Number 4 mark 1 Sporterized for Hunting and have some Barnes TSX 150gr on order.

I am trying to decide on the correct powder to use. I contacted Barnes and they informed me that they don't yet have any data for their .311" 150gr bullet. (In my mind I thought they'd have to test it first...but what do I know). They said use the Hodgon Data.

I will be using CCI Large Rifle 200 Primers and thought maybe IMR 4350 or 4895 would be decent.

Any info would be great thanks.

I use 47.9 of IMR4350 with the 150TSX in my #1 Ruger with good results.

Thanks, Kevan. Looking for a couple of boxes to try in a couple of Ruger No.1's. $51.99 a box?

Found these for a great price from Jerry Teo at Mystic.

Btw, are these a flat base bullet?

Edit: NM, I see they are indeed flat base.
