Hi,

Does anyone have a Barnes manual that can scan in a page for me? I want to try the Barnes 168gr TSX BT bullet in a 30-06 and would like to get a copy of the Barnes load data.

A Barnes video I watched said that you can use Barnes X bullet data as a starting point.

I found this reloading data (http://www.barnesbullets.com/images/30-06SpringfieldWeb.pdf) on the Barnes site, but the powder choices are a little slim in 168gr... I am leaning towards 4064 if possible.

Here's a cool video (http://www.barnesbullets.com/videos/308_180gr_TSX_6fps_logo.mov) of a 30-06 going into ballistic gelatin....

Thanks,
John

Not able to do the scan, but the manual says for IMR 4064:

Starting 46.5 grains with a velocity 2594
Max 50.0 with a velocity of 2801

They used win brass, Fed210 primers, COAL 3.218" out of a 24" barrel

BTW- this was data for TSX's specifically

Hope this helps
