Try 66 grains of H4895, shoots the 300 TSX out of my rifle sub-moa.
I had similar results at 65.0 gr. Very accurate.

I use Varget in my 300 Barnes STX loads. From my Remington 798 Tropical (Mauser action) I get day in and day out 1.5 MOA and sometimes better. My velocity is 2,480 fps with very low extreme spreads and SDs.
Every animal that I've hit with this load (including two buffs) has gone down with one shot.

What velocity are you getting with Varget? (Barrel length please)
I got 2,550 fps with 74.5 grains of N550 under the Barnes 300 grain TSX in a 24” barrel. (Right target)

Look at getting a Garmin or Athlon chrono to develop loads for my .375 H&H and .300 WM for once and a lifetime safari hunt. Barnes bullets for the win.
I been a copper bullet guy for a minutes, always perform great on whitetails. I have not had any bullet recovery straight pass throughs every harvest.

I shot 6 animals in South Africa with my 375 H&H and Barnes 300 grain TSX bullets. The only one we recovered went through a cape buffalo's shoulder and vitals, stopping just under the hide on the far side. Recovered weight was 299 grains:
That one bullet killed him - it just took him a couple minutes to realize it.
