[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1857329, member: 104268"] [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/168-ttsx-165-interbond-178-eld-x-30-06-dangerous-game.238638/post-1857315']For more information click here...[/URL] Short story for those that don't click above... Chrony died in the middle of "developing" a load for a rifle I'm sending to a buddy who's a new shooter. Won't have time to collect dope or velocity before it goes in the mail. I'm hoping to get a rough idea of the how fast that a 168 TTSX, on top of 58.5 gr of RL19, will be going from a 24" old Rem ADL. I can guess based on load data, but I figured a few real world examples would help refine it. He won't be shooting miles, and will only be after 200-500 yd targets on a square range for awhile. What I know... 59.0 gr RL19 = pancaked primers, slight bolt lift and ejector wipe. 58.5 gr RL19 = no lift/wipe, but clearly on the stout end based on POI and shoulder chronograph. What I also know... [ATTACH type="full" alt="TTSX 1.jpeg"]182645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="TTSX 2.jpeg"]182646[/ATTACH] ...Is that it seems to want to shoot near where I'm at. Obviously can't use the 59.0 load, but 58-58.5 will be OK. I used the most precise reloading techniques to develop this load... 1) I have 3/4 of a box of TTSX that shot like crap in my 308 AR. Might as well try them. 2) I have RL19 that I don't use for anything. Might as well try it. 3) 10 minutes of eyeballing Hodg/Nos/Alliant/Barnes internet data. Chose a couple charges 1-2 gr under max. 4) Stuffed the TTSX in "well south of the lands" based on BTO comparisons with a couple other bullets I actually measured for OAL at some point for the rifle. 5) Setup chrony for testing. 6) Destroyed chrony testing loads I already had data for. 7) Realized I shoulda shot the TTSX first...Sigh... Anyway, can you help a brother out with your results for RL19 and TTSX? [/QUOTE]
