168 TSX in 300 WM

[Alaska]

Got a box of 168 TSX to try in my 300 Win Mag with IMR 4350 and IMR 4831. Any one have some good hunting load data .

Thanks

Barnesbullets.com has load data on it for your bullet with IMR 4831. It runs from 64 3 to 74.7 grains

I love Alliant A 4000 seating bullet to the middle groove if it will fit your magazine and chamber properly.

I’ve loaded quite a few with H4831 and IMR 4831 for my 300s - I used a mid load and worked up to a load just below max - that’s where I found the most consistent group sizes. Would like to of tried some RL powders but none on hand

Same here on RL powder especially the RL 22 and 19. I have some IMR 4350 and IMR 4831.

barnes tsx like a good jump at the rifling I use these in my 30-06 very accurate

 

[10/22]

I've killed quite a few with that bullet. A couple w/300WM.

Most w/30-06.

No escapees. None went over 10 yards after being hit. I don't like the ballistics past 350 yards, but wouldn't hesitate at 300.

Were I going to shoot more than 300 and maybe out to 500-600 I'd go with the 165/168 grain TSX just to get the better ballistics. If it was going to be beyond 500 more often than not I would not use a TSX/TTSX.

Barnes told me the 168 was designed around the 30-06 and the 165 for the 300 WM. So I loaded the 165 TTSX in my 300 WM ahead of H4831. Extremely accurate! It has taken Texas exotics, coyote, elk to date. Will likely go on my elk hunt again this year.
Picture of a one hole 3 shot group during my load development. CAUTION: this is .4 grain below Barnes. MAX. A friend’s rifle shoots similar a couple of grains below the Barnes 79.9 MAX and has worked well for him on elk and bighorn. My velocity is above Barnes’s.

If I hung Targets on the wall that would be front and center
