dumbest question of 2012

As a very general rule, you can use loading data for the same weight and diameter of bullet, ie, Nosler, Serria, Honrady 168gr 30 cal bullets all work well with 41 grns of 4064 in an M1 Garand chambered for .308 or an M-14.

Reloading data is available on their website and if you contact them about a specific caliber they'll even send it to you. If I recall reading in the Barnes manual the TSX will produce a little less pressure due to the grooves on the bullet. You could work up 0.5-1grn higher but watch for over pressure signs.
 
If you use X data, your TSX/TTSX loads will be plenty safe.

Monometal bullets like the TSX/TTSX generally produce more pressure with a given load than a normal cup and core bullet.
 
If you are ever in any doubt on any Barnes loading and can't find the specifics, get on their website and contact them.

Ty Herring is the fellow you need to speak with - he is a very nice and knowledgeable fellow.

Thanks. Will do. I'm going to try partitions and interlocks before I try the barnes I was just curious if the loads listed in my manual were for the tsx. Thanks for the replies
 
Since Nosler and Sierra publish most accurate loads, their results can be converted to similar weights and styles of bullets. Be caustious if the accuracy load is already at maximum but it does give an idea of starting within reason.
Nosler's load with their 60 grain bullet works great with Sierra's 60 grain HP .224 in .22-250 using 4320, 4064, and 4895. Sierra's load for 190 grain MK in .300 WM used for the Hornady 190 SPBT and then worked up to 73.0 grains of Re22.
