Yes, I did get a very high velocity with the listed Barnes load using AA2460, however it is a very hot load which I'm no longer using: when I get my hands on a few more of the 130 grainers, I'm going to develop a milder load. I'm currently running with the 150 grain TTSX and N140 which is somewhat milder
Out of interest, what load are you using for the 150gr? I ask as I fancy working a load up for my .308 using the TTSX. I've been using 42.5gr of N140 behind the Nosler 150gr BT's, which seems to suit my rifle.
Hi Mat
The 43g load sounds fairly sedate as I usually use 46g N140 with 150g conventional bullets, is it a mild load or did you hit pressure signs. Have you any chrono data for the load?
I've not chrono'd it as yet, I've used 44 grains too: bear in mind that the ttsx is a much longer bullet than your average leaded softpoint, so you can't fit much more powder in without compressing.
