Anyone have a Barnes book?

Trying to find out what load Barnes recommends for the 7mm 160 gr triple shocks with 4350.

[quickdtoo]

Barnes doesn't show any 4350 powder for use with the 160gr XFB in the #3 manual which can be used with their TSX guidelines, nor do they show it online. The powders they show in the book for the 160gr XFB are XMR3100, AA8700, RL19, RL22, H450, H4831, H1000, H870, IMR4831, IMR7828 and WMR.

I show the 150grn XBT with a max load of 58grns of 4350, so according to their TSX guidelines... that is a max load of 60 grains... but with 150 grainers.... so that could be a few grains high for 160 grainers.....

Hodgdon is saying that for nosler partitions (sorry to bring up noslers, haha) the max for 4350 is 59.5, but the TSX may generate less pressure (may) by design...

Second look...  IMR4350 was 59.5, H4350 was 55.5....

Thanx Corbanzo,my NOSLER book lists their 160s at 60 gr max load,Barnes suggests that you can load their bullet 1-2 grains hotter without exceeding pressure levels of other bullets.I went with 60 gr of 4350,Ill shoot a few tomorow after my bear hunt and see how they group.
