.300 win mag with 165 TTSX

[Danny Fireblade]

Does anyone reload .300 win mag with 165gr TTSX using RS70?

About to work up a load with these and then make a decision if I will use the TTSX or stick with the 180gr accubond that I’m trying at the moment?

Many thanks.

The barnes is a good bullet, apart from the lapua naturalis it’s all I’ve used copper wise for years

I reload the 130gr TTSX in .308 and I have taken hundreds of deer with it, really rate it for accuracy and performance.

Just another reason for wanting to use the 165gr in my .300 WM.

Not quite that load but I reload 148gr Yew Tree with Elcho 17 / RS60 - fast, flat and accurate. If the burn rate and velocity with the 165 and RS70 is good then I’m sure you’ll be just fine. The Barnes TTSX bullets are excellent.

I don't have a load yet.
But im also about to start development with exactly the same combo.
I've been using 150TTSX which perform amazingly, but are a bit too damaging on smaller bodied animals. Hoping slowing them up a touch and going a bit heavier will have same dropping power and blood trails, but a bit less meat damage would be nice.
Please update this thread with your results, I'll do the same

Cheers

While I was in the states on a recent trip for elk I used factory Barnes 165’s and they were accurate and consistent so hopefully will be able to replicate on the Homeloads.

What brass and primers are you using?

I'm on Lapua and remmington 9.5 magnum primers

I’m using new Nosler brass and federal magnum primers.
One of the benefits of a couple of trips to the USA this year is being able to stock up on certain items.
Now if only the slowed me to bring primers back with me
