Barnes 150gr TTSX in .308

[bigjeepman]

Does anyone have any experience loading the Barnes 150gr TTSX in their .308? How did it do accuracy-wise and did it perform in the field well for you?

I will be trying Varget first in my load development as I am a big fan of this powder and it has worked very well for me in .223, .243, and the .308. I emailed Barnes and they recommended H4895 as their most accurate powder for this setup.

I would appreciate any info anyone has. This is my first experience with any of Barnes' bullets.

I've shot the 168gr TSX in my 308 using Varget, it works very well.  They recommend using TSX data for the TTSX, I've almost bought a box of them several times, but I have so many other .308" bullets that I haven't....yet!! Next times Sportsman's Warehouse has a coupon sale I'll probably give in and get em!!

Good shooting BJM!!!

Take note that these bullets are recommended to be seated .050" off the lands. They need a little running start before they hit the lands.

Tim and LaOtto222,

Thanks for the info as this is just the kind of information I am looking for. I have heard so many good things about the Barnes TSX that I had to try them. I found a really nice Remington 788 (1973) earlier this year that I want to start tuning in. I tried some Win Powerpoints that came with the rifle and they grouped very nicely.
 

Thanks again guys ...
