Barnes TTSX 6mm (.243) 80gr

[Uncle f]

Evening all. I hope your all staying safe and well. Having just started on the reloading journey as I find myself now with some time on my hands (wonder why).
I’m looking for some load data for the above projectiles. The only powders I have Vihtavuori N140 and N150.
Does any one out there have any Data I can use please?

The Vihtavuori app/website only provides data for a tsx 85gr projectile or a 80gr Hornady FMJ

I can’t find any one in the Uk that has the Barnes reloading manual in stock (perhaps someone has one they want to sell?)
I’ve emailed Barnes in the USA but no reply yet? That was 12 days ago.

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks in advance.
Regards Steve

Vit N150 will work ok and it will probably give a velocity of 3000Ft/sec at a max load (depending on barrel length etc). Whereas other more optimum powder options should deliver almost 3200.
The Barnes manual I have doesn't list Vihtavuori powders or the TTSX 80 grn bullet.
If you use the Viht 85 grn TSX bullet data STARTING load for N150 and work up from there you will be safe.
TTSX bullets work best when driven fast so you may wish to look for an accurate node at the top end of the work up.
