Anybody have a preferred powder for loading the Barnes 53 gr. TSX in a 1:9 barrel. Just trying to find out what powders people are having the best luck with.
I have looked in my Barnes manual, but the weapon tested was 1:12. |

I have looked in my Barnes manual, but the weapon tested was 1:12. I don't think the twist rate is particularly relevant. The fact that the data is for 1/12 shouldn't matter. You will, of course, be starting low and working up your loads properly anyway. |

The data I have is from Barnes loaded to 5.56, the 5.56 data for the 53 grain TSX list a 1x7 twist barrel.
Bullet: 53 grain TSX...... Case: LC09 ....... COAL: 2.19 ...... Case trim length: 1.75 Primer: Fed 205 ....... Barrel length" 20"....... Twist rate: 1x7 Powder..............Min. charge..............velocity.............Max charge..............velocity............load density H4895.....................24.6.......................2886....................26.6.......................3199....................101% *TAC........................25.6.......................2958....................27.6........................3161....................93% These are the only two listed powders on the data I have, The TAC list as the most accurate load. |
