Probably need to update your .PDF app or browser? Not sure why it's not showing you data on your phone....mine seems OK.
See if this works

Have that one too and was wondering if I could just match my 150 with the others. As there's nothing for the TTSX 150. I take it those are max loads?

Yes, max loads, start at least 5% lower and work up. The new Barnes are not suppose to cause any higher pressure then regular cup/core but I'd still use caution.

I think if you check burn rates, that R26 will be a slower, not faster powder. Some have already said it, for the 150's you will probably find a faster powder would give you more speed. Seeing that you have not said, i assume you want more speed, since Barnes work better on game when going quick. Have you found a accuracy node with those projectiles? I personally load for accuracy, chrony numbers are secondary, but most of my hunting gives pretty close shots, where the bullet is still going to be near max. Actually sounds like you need to step up to 7mm Wea or Rum, change powder, change bullet, or ....????
 
I haven't tryedvto the 150 yet. Right now I'm just experimenting with 7MM. I got a new Tikka T3 Varminter , some 150 TTSX and 152 SST. Retumbo and RL26 powder. I'm not set on these bullit weights or types for that matter. The Barnes were really accurate in my .308 so I thought they may be as good in my 7MM and accuracy is what I'm chasing.

So in general , night bullits and fast powder, heavy bullits and slow powder , is the way to go?

You got the jist of it now.......now it's just varying shades of grey...........I found that IMR 7828 was far and away the best powder in the 7RM for 150-160 gn bullets, like over 100 fps better than anything else and excellent accuracy. It also seems to be quite available as I have seen it in 3 different stores lately.
 
Consider a review of the "ballistics studies" web page. Some really good info there for your consideration in real world applications for many cartridges. From those reviews the 160 grain class bullets really shine in this cartridge. if you are going monolithic then there is some good info to consider as well. Enjoy....
 
I personally use, and always have used 160s in all the big 7s.........7mmRM, 7mmWby and 7mmRUM and I have also hunted with a 7mm-300 Win and a 7mm-300 Wby.........always used 150 or 160 bullets but mostly 160 Partitions and lately 160 Accubonds.
 
I like the lighter solid/bonded for deer sized stuff.... 120-140gr.
150-170gr bonded/partition for bigger stuff like bears/moose.
I don't use any cup/core in these.
 
I'll be using this rifle for moose and some target shooting. I'll probably get a couple boxes of Barnes TTSX 168 g for hunting , which the RL26 should be suitable . Regards to target rnds , I'm not sure yet but maybe the 139 SST or the 140 Barnes and a faster powder.
