anyone have a newer manual from barnes that can help me with
223 loads and 53 tsx bullets.
my rifle is stevens 200 in 223 with 1-9 twist

barnes site gives 2 loads tac and 4895 have none of these.
do they list accurate loads or just numbers in the book, they
show 4895 on the web site as accurate but as i said i have none.

i have others in that area.
Reloader 7,15
Imr 3031,4064
Hodgdon 335,varget

could someone please tell me if they list loads for any powder i listed
and what they are loaded at.

thank you for any help.

Get a Lyman 47th or newer Reloading Handbook and after saying that the starting loads for a 50g 52g 55g are all the same! So load light and save the cases! One of loads that I like is 17G of 4227 with a 53g Barnes banded solids. If you want That book gust download it by the page you need and allways keep notes.

barnes emailed me lots of data a few years ago on request for specific bullets.

im using the 53 gr barnes TSX and they are super finicky little buggers! i constantly get fliers with them. Im pushing them with 24.5 gr of 3031 in nickle cases, seated to 0.030 off lands. rifle has 1-12 twist

Ill get a nice 3 shot group and try to adjust scope to bring me onto bulleye and then my next shots go haywire! i really hope its not the scope. Ive had this problem before and thought it was bad gun powder but turned out to be the scope internals took a dump on me and couldnt keep a zero for nothing!

anyone else experience this with barnes bullets?
