Barnes .257 TSX 100 Grain Boattail

[M12shooter]

Been shooting TSX115 grainers through my 25-06 Sako for years with good results. Decided to drop down to 100 grainers with IMR4350. Loaned out my older Barnes loading manual only to have it dissapear. Someone out there with current Barnes loading data for 25-06 with these 100 TSX boattail and IMR4350...starting point and max?

It's not Barnes data but 47 min to 52.5-53.5 Max of IMR4350 and a 100 grainer depending on the source.

Have you tried sending an email to Barnes?
I sent them one and had a reply to my question the next day.
Sorry can not help you further.

Bingo. 53gr gives me 3312fps average, and shoots bug hole groups.

Thanks for the input guys. Also a sticky above by blargon where he so kindly posted updates/data from Barnes #4 and 5 loading manual.

You found IMR 4350 and a 100 grainer on there? I must be doing something wrong.

Nope, IMR4831 was included though. 4831 is a good powder as well but I much prefer IMR4350 when working up 25-06 loads. I do intend to use 4350 around the 50 grain point and work up to max from there. Thanks again
