I can look and report back in then morning, after my pot of coffee. Lol
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?

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Thanks scope eye, I did find some more receipts at IMR web site.
