Picked up the Barnes reloading manual 4. Am I missing something? Why is the load data differant on there website for the same bullet and caliber?
-
How much different?
-
160 grain tsx fb with imr 4831. The book has minimum of 52.0 web has 54.4. Hook has max 58.0 and web has 60.4. I must be reading something wrong?
-
What caliber/cartridge?
-
7mm rem mag
-
Maybe the internet data is more current? I know when I go to the Barnes site it says "New" for the 7mm Rem Mag data.
How do the other powders compare?
-
My Barnes book has the same data as yours. 52 minimum 58 maximum. Maybe online data is updated :dunno: I have had good luck and experiences calling them about load data which may be a good idea to do.
-
Sorry about the stupid question. But are you sure you are looking at IMR4831 for both and not H4831 for one?
-
Are the bullets exactly the same? Not necessarily the right answer here, but...I thought Barnes made slight modifications to some of the bullet styles. Example--they did something like made the friction grooves wider, and pressure stayed lower. There was something else like a way of plating. I seem to recall some instance where the names were basically the same, but the model number was only like one increment off.

Thinking this is most likely it.
