[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 499272, member: 22600"] At the same time I called Barnes to talk to them about the minimum velocity for expansion, I also asked them about changing over to the TTSX from the tsx. They said that the copper alloy is the same used for both bullets so the load should transfer over with ease, however on some of the TTSX the ogive is changed slightly. This would mean that the charge of powder should in theory be able to be the same, but the seating depth may need adjustment when transferring bullets. This makes it simple to switch. I would still likely back off 1 or 2 grains to be safe, but I don't see why your current charge couldn't be kept. As for price, the TTSX is with 1 or 2 $'s of where the TSX werre, so its really not an issue. That being said, I may only shoot 20 - 25 per year per rifle. Not a range bullet by any means. [/QUOTE]
