Left home without checking the manual, making a trip to the city for the weekend, nowhere to buy powder at home, can someone send me a picture of the page with 80gr ttsx for .243, not sure if I have the right powder on hand and getting the 80gr pills next week in the mail. Thank you.
 
also, the barnes book differs from hodgdon. in my 7mm rem mag, the difference between the 2 was 5 grains of powder. i never saw any pressure signs with the barnes data, so i loaded another batch with the hodgdon data.

Same here, Barnes 150 TTSX, 7mmRM, IMR 4831,
Barnes max is 60.6
Hodgedon start load is 60.4, max 65.
Being a cautious reloader, I started with 54.5, then 55.5 then the range was closed for months due to fire hazard. So I used 55.5 for hunting, which was fine. I do note some soot on case necks, so wonder if this indicates too light a load.

I use the same powder. I had some good accuracy nodes, but probably not hot enough for my liking (forgot chrony at home)
