I load my 30/06 with Barnes TSX or Banded Solids in the 165/168 gr. versions over Varget and Federal 210M primers.  That load is quite accurate.  I've used the same load for Hornady and Nosler bullets of the same weight; I've found no need for a powder weight adjustment.  The nice thing is you can test loads with cheap bullets before starting on the Barnes bullets.

I believe the Nosler Pro Shop has 168 gr. match bullet seconds.  Those are what I use for load workup.

Here's the direct link to .308" bullet data, it's in the Technical drop down under Load Data.

If they don't have what you want, email Ty Herring for specific data. tyh@barnesbullets.com
