I am starting to get into reloading, specifically because it's hard to come by decent 8x57js loads without having them shipped (hasmat, shipping, etc ads up). I like barnes bullets so I went with their reloading manual's suggestions for the ttsx in 160grn. The best load I shot today was as follows.
160grn ttsx over 48.5 grns varget. coal is 3.05. I'm using S&B brass and cci LR primers.
They did not perform anywhere near the level that I would have liked. The S&B's that I had been using grouped well, but were terrible on game and as I mentioned they are getting expensive. So that brings me to my question.
Any mauser or vz24 shooters/hunters have a pet load that they would recommend to me? If you have come upon something that works well with the barnes 160grn ttsx that would be great, but I can always go and buy something different. I appreciate your help.
