[lonewolf5348]

I was thinking in trying this bullet in the 243 cal.
I hope I can use IMR 4064 I load it now with Remington 100 Gr. core-lock bullets 35.0 grain
IMR4064 start34.9 max38.0
IMR4350 start39.6 max42.2
any one have any load data that will confirm the above with the TSX bullet

Seating is key with that bullet,
 I recieved advise from Ty, to seat the end of the neck too the middle of the top band. It  works.

 Happen to run into a gent at the range one day trying that bullet in 243, gave him the advice, a few months later bumped into him again at a local shop and he commented that it did indeed work for him too. Sub moa at 200.
Luck too ya,

I called tech: at Barnes and they said it was a go for the above IMR powder 4350 and 4064
I can't say the Remington 100 gr. or the Hornady can't get the job done on whitetails but the Barnes TSX seem to be number one on the list when it comes to blood trails and really knocking them down

I loaded 10 rounds to day shot them at the 100 yard target No Problems 3 shots in side 1/2"
I did notice the bullet was about 1 1/2" over center were the Remington 100 Gr. were dead on .
I had a little problem loading them seen the Barnes table say to the COAL 2.645 that put me in the middle of the top band and no way I could get them not to move deeper with thumb pressue.I decided to seat them at 2.674 this was the last outside bullet diameter before the inner band.
I load 36 gr. IMR 40464 i have no idea what the FPS would be but they are right on the money Will see come deer season on how they work on N.E. whitetails
