Title: 168 gn Barnes TSX Reloading Question
Post by: oneshotkill on September 30, 2011, 12:40:42 PM: I have been reloading for my 30-06 (Savage 111) for about a year now and have gotten a lot better accuracy then I did with factory ammo. So far I have used 165 grain bullets and have used Hornady SSTs, Nosler Partitions, and Sierra Gamekings. I was just given a box of 168 grain Barnes TSXs. In loading them is there anything that would be different with them being an all copper bullet? I noticed that they are longer then the 165 grain bullets. I don't have a Barnes reloading manual so I am working on trying to find some data on what i need to know about what I need to do different using a bullet that is heavier, longer, and all copper. Any help you can give me would be great!
Thanks!
Joel
