[QUOTE="kraky, post: 172702, member: 180"] I've worked with the 168 tsx and the 180 in a couple of guns and can say that they aren't a whole lot different than other bullets and shouldn't give you any wild pressure spikes. You should however work up a few grains towards max. I'd suggest loading 3 shells a couple grains under......3 shells with one more grain....three shells near max etc and watch the chrono, pressure signs and accuracy. You might just stumble onto a good load just under max. In the 300 win mag it's hard to beat, RE22 and H1000 in my book. I have a tikka and it seems to have some freebore and I've gotten past max loads trying to find the top end so am hesitant to share the data but there is so much out there in manuals on where the top end should be with these powders that it should be ez for you. Also the recomendation that you call Barnes or E-mail them is excellent...they have always been willing to share data with me in the past. [/QUOTE]
