With Barnes bullets I typically start at 0.050 off the lands if magazine length allows. From there I can usually find a sub MOA load with a charge weight ladder without altering the seating depth.

I've never been able to make H4831 sing in my Kimber either. Only got mediocre accuracy, and couldn't break 2900 fps. H4350 and RL19 both gave sub half MOA accuracy at 3050-3060 fps. They would both break 3100 fps as well, without getting squirrelly but accuracy suffered.

53.5 grains of H4350 squirts the 130 TTSX at 3050 fps from my Kimber Montana. I can get another 100 fps out of it, but the groups open up from sub half MOA to to 1.1 MOA

The TSX and TTSX are outstanding bullets. I shoot the TTSX in multiple cartridges and calibers from .277 to .338 with great accuracy and terminal performance. The original X isn't made anymore, so I wouldn't invest any time on loading it. My Kimber Montana in .270 Win shoots bugholes with the...

My Tikka in .22-250 shoots bug holes with Varget and the Hornady 50 grain Vmax

I've never seen that name before

The Barnes 180 TTSX has been my go to bullet for moose in my 300 Win Mag. I've never tried the e-tips. They weren't out yet when I developed this load, and it shoots so well I haven't been inclined to try anything new.

I love the 120 BT in the 7mm-08. That bullet over Varget is pure magic in my M700 Mountain Rifle.

I've had good luck with R-16 and the 180 grain Partition. 2860 fps at 0.5 MOA from my Kimber Mtn. Ascent

Both IMR 4350 and H4350 give me 0.5 MOA at right around 3200 fps with the Barnes 140 TTSX from my 24" barreled KImber.

Actually, the 7mm-08 is a carbine as well. it started out life with a 22" barrel, but its original owner had it cut back to carbine length

All 7600s, carbine in 30-06, rifle in 308, 7mm-08 and 35 Whelen. The 06 carbine is the one that sees the most miles in the woods for days of still hunting or late season drives.

I love those Remington pumps. I have 4 of them & they're my go to rigs for a whitetail woods rifle.

An arbor press and a LE Wilson seating die would be my choice for a portable rig

It's a good thing it wasn't the other way around. Finding a stray 30 cal in a box of 7 mm bullets could get interesting :eek:

H4350 and R16 is where I would start.

For my dies, I spray them out with Hornady One Shot cleaner or RCBS die cleaner, then swab them with a patch on a pistol cleaning rod. My brass I wipe down with a microfiber towel, then throw them in a quart can with acetone or VM&P naphtha. After a few minutes I let them air dry on the bench.

For my Kimber Montana in 270 Win I've worked up a good hunting load with the Barnes 130 TTSX that shoots 0.5 MOA at 3050 fps with H4350, and the same with R19. I can get another 100 fps from either load, but the groups open up to 1 MOA. From a 20" Ruger Ultralight I got velocities up to 2950...

That's one of my staple powders that I never let myself run out of. I run it in 280 Ackley, 270 Win, 30-06, and 300 WSM.
