Sadly, Barnes has load data for pretty much everything else on their site, but not x39! I guess their .310 123 grn TSX round is relatively new and they have not done it yet.

Thought about ordering the new Barnes reloading book ($24.95) but hoped somebody might have some info to go with my bullets, primers and brass. (Not even sure it's IN the book.)

I'd use an x39 load from the my Lee book, but I'm concerned about the fact that the all-copper Barnes bullet is longer than a traditional copper/lead bullet (to get the same weight), and that this design could cause increased pressure in the case, creating a problem.

Is this a legit concern?
