Powder suggestions for 300 win mag with 130 gr Barnes TTSX

[christian1]

I was thinking of using the Barnes 130 gr in my 300 for deer. Their online manual doesn't use any of the powders I have. I was looking for some suggestions using IMR 4064, 4895, 4831, 4350 or Varget. Thanks.

What did you end up trying out? I was thinking of loading these bullets as well.

I never pursued it. I have a 180 grain Nosler accubond load with IMR 4350 that shoots pretty decent with that gun, so I just stuck with that.

well I have been debating which direction i want to go since Norma is apparently discontinuing their 139gn Evostrike..

I have been shooting the same load for decades in my 300 Win Mags.....180gr Hornady spire point with 83gr H1000. Deer to moose. Bang-Flop. I know that is a few grains over "todays" manuals but it was in manuals for many years. Never had an issue with it. I do like Accubonds too but never got the best in accuracy from them.

130 ttsx in 300 win works good for me . 3500 fps with 760. .75 ish groups and turns out the lights on Maine whitetail
