Has anyone done any reloading using the Barnes 180 gr TTSX bullet with a powder other than Relaoder 10X?
If so, can you give the powder, charge, etc?
Looking to see if I can get some better groups than I am getting with Reloader 10X.
Thanks.
Shawn

42 to 44 grains. 44 will yield 2650 mv

There are several loads on the net for 180 bullets, just not that one. Just reduce the start load and watch for signs of pressure.

Looking for someone who has used another powder "besides" Reloader 10X and the Barnes 180gr TTSX.
Thanks.

As a general rule I do not post personal loading data on the internet. However, you may find the following of some value:
Powders that I have safely chronographed with the Barnes 180 grain TTSX bullets include Reloader 7, Reloader 10X, and Accurate 2230. Based on equal charge weights, and my pressure sign observations, it appears that Reloader 7 is a little bit "faster burning" than 10X and Accurate 2230 is a little bit "slower burning" than 10X. I did not shoot enough to really judge which powder may be more accurate with the Barnes 180 grain TTSX bullets. I am confident that all three powders will give good practical hunting velocity and accuracy if the reloader and hunter-shooter do their parts well.
Also, although I did not test it, Hodgdon H322 could possibly work well with the Barnes bullets. It may also be just a little "faster burning" than 10X with those bullets. Good luck and be safe in your quest for even better accuracy.

Cedarthicket:
Thanks for the reply.
Can you give me an Idea of min. & max. for the Reloader 7, Accurate 2230, and H322?
Thanks.
