[Westicle]

Anyone have a spare #4 barnes manual... or know of a stocking dealer ?

Nope no word. I believe is suppose to be a June release, it's been a long wait.

I get the manual online from the Barnes website via the copper club. Is there a particular load you were looking for?

Virtually all the loads were reduced by 3-4 grains.

Reduced from X-bullet data?

I contacted Barnes for data on the .225gr TSX in .338 with H4350 and they wouldn't give me any.

That's because they don't have it as a powder, just the IMR.

Here's the data for the 338 win mag.

I never loaded the 338 WM, so I don't know how much the charges came down, but for all the ones I load, 308, 30-06, 300 win mag etc the max charges came DOWN 3-5 grains.

I contacted them about loads for my .416 Rem Mag and they were quite helpful. The gent sent me the files by email in about 5 minutes.

Yeah, they sent me that file. I was just wondering why they used alot more powders in the #3 manual, and now they only use 4 or 5.

They've had like 7 years to do the testing for the new manual.

Cool, do you have that for the 300WSM?

I have some 130gr TTSX bullets that should be arriving next week

For the .308, in 165 and 180 weights, the data is the same or higher than the X-bullet data.

You are right, the 308 is pretty much the same, 30-06 with the powders I use is 1.5 to 3 grains lower and the 300 win mag is 3.5 to 5 grains lower.

I loaded some .308" 168gr TSX's last fall with IMR4350 and settled with a powder charge of 55.5gr. Where does this charge sit according to Barnes new load data?
