I loaded some up to try last weekend at 2.800 which is what the load data on barnes website said so as soon as it cools off a little I'm gonna go see how they shoot and go from there. I started at 47.0 grains of big game and went up in 1 grain increments all the way to 50.0. When yall start with a load like this at the recommended COAL do yall see which shoots the best at the recommended length and then start adjusting it from there? Find the lands and work back from there in 15 thou increments they like jump in most cases

I don't care about book COAL. I measure the lands and back away from there. Only time I measure for COAL is to make sure they'll fit in the magazine.

I don’t care how far off the lands I am or the distance to it.
83% of all statistics are made up.

TTSX is about the baddest bullet out there. It punches a hole on both sides and retains most of its weight from what Ive found. As far as the COAL I load mine the way N2TRKYS does.
It isn't necessary to see a good tackle...you can hear it.

"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I use a 120gr in one of my 6.5 PRC’s and it’s a hammer on deer.
