I want to load some hunting rounds for my 338-06 using Barnes Tipped TSX 160 grain bullets but I have found very little info. As a matter of fact I can find only two receipts both on Barnes web site. Has anyone used these and what powder and weight did you use?
I can look and report back in then morning, after my pot of coffee. Lol
Thanks scope eye, I did find some more receipts at IMR web site.
