What is your experience with Barnes TSX accuracy and seating depth?
I just loaded 223Rem with Barnes 62gr TSX over 26.9gr of CFE223 for the first time. Seated them 80mics from lands by using RCBS Precision Mic. Barnes suggests 50 to 200+ mics off lands for accuracy.
I haven't used Barnes bullets since the early 90's when I found the original X Bullet not accurate in a 7mm-08.

I shoot Barnes in all my game rifles and done a ton of testing. Mine shoot great at .050" off lands. Seldom do well closer than .030".
They like a lot of jump. My 338 rcm is limited by mag length and is over .2" off lands and shoots under .3"
