    Re: Barnes 62 grain TSX Load

    I have loaded the 45,53,62 and 70.

    I had a 1:7 and a 1:9 twist.

    The heaviest bullet I could get to tighten up in the 1:9 twist was the 53 grain bullet.

    The 62 just shot sloppy in my rifle. Probably about 1.5" or so.

    Others mileage might vary.
    I think I chronographed them too, but I lost that notebook.
    I shot them over H4895.
    I think my max load was 24.5 gr for the 62. That is what I have in the saved quickload file.
    Barnes lists a max load of 25.5 gr of varget.

    Both the 62 and 70 did fine in the 1:7 twist.

    I use 25.6 gr. of Varget for both 62 TSX's and for my 60 gr. Vmax coyote loads. Super accurate with the Vmaxs and sub MOA with the TSX's.
