[QUOTE="EZShooter, post: 97831, member: 5305"] Keithcandler, Thanks for the reply, I did start off working up a new load. I had bought at the same time a 1 lb. canister of H335 when I bought the Tsx bullets. I have a 8 lb. keg of H322 from my single shot Tc Contender days, and used the 322 on my initial loads for the 223 to get a baseline of accuracy for the rifle, but worked up one for the 335/Bergers at the same time I was working up the 335/TSX loads. I tried five different loads of 335/bergers and I tried five different 335/TSX loads in .5 grain increments (2.5 gr range, with the upper load 1.0 gr hotter than my loads I used for the Bergers - as I am generally pretty conservative, and Barnes says that you might go an extra grain or so because of the reduced bearing surface of the TSX). The Bergers are .6-.7 MOA with either powder, but I am pretty sure that I am getting better velocity with the H335. This is not a thorough ringing out of different loads/ powder by any means, but with my initial results, I figured I would ask some questions before loading anymore TSX rounds. Thanks again for the response. EZ [/QUOTE]
