Anybody have a current Barnes reloading manual with the 168gr ttsx bullet data for 300wsm? ive got an older edition with older bullet designs. For a 168 xlc BT it shows 7828 loads but online barnes doesnt list this powder for the 168TTSX

Spoke to Barnes; they said that the old data or even data from a different bullet of the same weight can be applied as long as you begin with the starting load and watch for pressure on your way up. You might not achieve desired velocity before the case fills with the slow powder. The TSX bullets will be a longer bullet so I could potentially reach a compressed load sooner, as long as pressure is ok it wouldnt be an issue, but id be loosing out on speed. So basically the new data specifies the optimal range of burn rates but is not the only powders that will work. I also asked about what feature of a bullet is most critical for pressure, FB vs BT doesnt make a difference, bearing surface is what will drive pressure from bullet design to bullet design. that being said I may be looking to find a more optimal powder for the 300wsm. I’ll give a few 7828 loads a try first.

I saw the info on their website; even though the bullets weigh the same I guess bearing surface and jacket strength could change? But chamber pressure is still held to a max rating. Would 7828 be considered completely incompatible or just no starting data? im going to talk to barnes tomorrow; will report back after I do

This is probably a question better suited for barnes, but would bullet design play that big a part in powder compatibility? I would imagine weight would be the determining factor for powder?

Updated whats still available

Some wood grips would look awesome on that gun! Great looking pistol!

Would consider trades for higher end rimfire, 22wmr preferred but would consider others

Changed my mind for now

1/2-28 threads, 224 cal, AAC 51t quick attach suppressor mount located in tempe asking $65

Whats it weight?

I’ll take seconds

Ttt

6.5” barrel, great condition 3 screw non converted Located in tempe

Sold

Anybody have a lathe and thread barrels? Looking to thread 1/2-28. Gunsmith prices to do this seem like they have gotten pretty high

Anybody have a pair for sale or know where to get them?

Sorry this was an old thread. Found some back in february. I appreciate the responses

PCR told me to go to accuracy cause he doesnt do Howas. Its a younger guy doing most the work out there now.

True, I brought a gun to accuracy speaks to get threaded a while back and will not do that again. Functional, ehhh, but not pretty at all.

Correct; wasnt sure if vaqueros were built on the same frames that blackhawks are.
