[QUOTE="bweber, post: 160685, member: 3476"] Does anyone have a good load (or load data) using ball powder for a 300WSM load using the Barnes 180gr TSX bullet? I've been loading the 200gr TSX with H380 with good results, but want a 180gr bullet load for a little more speed. I'm shooting in a rifle that has an unusually short throat (or whatever the opposite of freebore is). I'm having to seat these bullets pretty deep to keep them off the rifling. I've found that the h380 works great as it doesn't require as much volume. I can get a good hot load for the 200gr bullet that has the bullet seated deeply enough without compressing the charge. I've tried working with stick powders with the 180gr bullet, but no way to do it without compressing it. I'd rather avoid compressed loads if I can. Barnes lists H380 data for the 200gr TSX on their web page, but not for the 180gr. Is W760 a ball powder? Thanks, Ben [/QUOTE]
