[QUOTE="James H, post: 130539, member: 5449"] I am not trying to correct Kraky but in my experience I have always had lower pressures with TSXs compared to the same weight standard lead/gilding metal bullet in the same gun. I have always had to add more powder to get the same velocity as standard bullets. At equivilent pressures (with more powder) I get much higher velocity (normally at least 100 fps) with the TSXs. The only exception has been with the 30-378 where the differences are slight but still lower pressure with the TSXs than std. bullets. The standard Barnes X bullets are however an entirely different story. I still would go along with Kraky and reduce the load and work back up, as you should do when switching any reloading component.
