Thread: Barnes tsx 160gr FB

Hay there rigga that's a shame they fouled the barrel that bad. Sounds as if the 154 gr Hornady works OK. Have you tried the 160 gr Noslar Partition bullet, you should be able to push them to around 3000 fps and they are a good penetrating bullet, once again good on those big scrub bulls.
I used to load them in my 7mm Mag with AR 2217 at 72 grs and the 160 gr partition for 2995 fps average, this is over the book max but safe in my rifle. If you try this load work up from say 65 grs and see how it goes. Another good load is 65 grs of AR 2213SC with the 160 gr partition for about 3000fps. Once again over book max so work up from say 62grs watching out for pressure signs. My rifle is a 24 inch barreled Mod 700 Rem.
