Been using Barnes 120g TTSX for the year with good results looking the upgrade my rifle to an R8(6.5x55) and want to stick with the TTSX, anyone got any successful load data for this combination.

Existing rifle load 6.5x 55, 120g TTSX 46g reloader 22(as recommended by Barnes)20 thou off the lands around the 2700fps mark.:suss:
 
Is R22 pretty similar to N560? They are both double base powders with about the same burn speed. I use 52 grains of N560 with no pressure symptoms with 120 gr Barnes. Is it correct that the Americans use very conservative loads for their 6.5 x 55s due to the existence of old historical rifles ?
