If this has already been discussed, I apologize, but I searched around and could not find the answer.
My load books don't specifically cover loading with Barnes TSX bullets, but I have heard that they require specific load info but I am not sure. I might have to break down and buy the Barnes Manual, but I don't really want to. Here is my question though, I checked out the Barnes website for load info, but what they have is very limited. When I compared their loads for a 270 WIN with a 130gr Barnes TSX and H4350, the maximum powder charge was higher at 55.0gr than what my load book gives for a maximum with 130gr jacketed bullet with H4350 at 54.3gr. If I go to Reloader 19, the Barnes data lists a maximum powder charge of 59.5gr and my load book lists 57.5. What gives? This seems like a pretty major discrepancy.
I was hoping to load my Barnes bullets on top of H4831, but Barnes does list any info for this powder, and I don't know if I can trust my load book, or if I just have to buy Barnes' book.
