Barnes Manual #3

[hylander]

I know this is not for Cast.
But I need load data for the Barnes TSX FN, Barnes #30630
with H4198 For my 1895 Marlin.
Does anyone have this manual that could share the data?

[JBinMN]

Not the #3 manual, but here from their page, & below is their link to the page for the loads they offer at the Source below.:

Revised 03/2008

♦Indicates most accurate load



*Recommend crimping case mouth into front cannelure groove.

*This data is intended for use only in modern, Marlin 1895 rifles in good condition. Do not use this data in Springfield Trapdoor rifles.

*The SAAMI MAP value for this cartridge is 28,000 psi. We shot the 1895 Marlin data to 42,000 psi.

*Do not use Barnes’ spitzer shaped bullets in tubular magazines..

I am sure there are more out there. I just brought these above to see if they help at all.

Hope that someone with the #3 Barnes manual can help you further.

G'Luck!

Thanks JBinMN,
However I am looking for specific load data for the 300 TSX FN with H-4198

[knifemaker]

Hylander, you may have to call or email Barnes and request that infro from them. I needed infro for the Barnes 300 gr. 45/70 Marlin and their latest manual, that I bought, only listed powders I did not have. I wanted load data for IMR-4198 with their 300 gr. HP. One of their tects sent me a email with load data infro I was seeking using IMR-4198 and several other powders.

Hylander, I went out to the shop and checked that load data that Barnes sent me and it gave load data for the Barnes 250 gr. XFN bullet and H-4198 powder.

H-4198 powder 250 Gr. XFN Marlin 1895 data.

Min. 49 GR. velocity-2018 fps

Max. 53 GR. velocity-2183 fps

It also gave a ballistic drop table for the 250 gr. Barnes bullet.

100 yard sight in. 200 yards 250 yards
+ 2.41 -6.35 drop -17.66 drop

Thanks,
I sent an email, I'm sure it will be next week before I hear back.
No worries as I am waiting for my new Leupold VX 3I 2.5-8X36 to arrive.

[JBinMN]

Sure Hylander, I understand.


Anyway, I killed a half hour since I could not sleep anyway, and I like to do such things so it was good for me as well.
BTW, Here is what looks like a pretty decent resource for some load info:

https://shootersreference.com/reloadingdata/182/

It has a lot of loads for 45-70 Gvnt there, including the Barnes 300 TSX FN ,with some cast loads there as well, plus other calibers if one wants to look around.

G'Luck! on finding what ya seek!

Hylander, I re-read your posts and realize that you requested information for the 300 Gr. XFN Barnes bullet and not the 250 gr. as I posted. Here is the information you wanted for that bullet and using H4198 powder.

Barnes 300 gr. XFN H4198 powder

Min. 45.0 gr. Velocity-1852 fps Max. 49.0 gr. Velocity-2017 fps.

This was taken from the information email that Barnes sent to me after I requested information on powders not listed in the manual I have.

That's what I was looking for.
