Your request is not entirely clear. I assume you are asking if the load is below projected pressure limits. According to QL, you are safe.

I've considered that 80 gr Barnes... But am too happy with my Partitions & B-Tips!
The 80 gr Barnes is downright zippy from a .25-06 or a .257 Weatherby.

Yes, the 80 TTSX is working out quite nicely thus far. I tried 3 different charge weights of RL-17, with 55.0 being tops. Turns out 55.0 gr's provided the tightest group(.45)of the 3 charge weights tried, giving me an average velocity of 3717fps. I was a bit concerned about pressure due to the high velocity. However, there were no evident signs of over pressure. Quickload seems to back this up. In addition, my rifle has always had a fast barrel. That being said, I feel confident I'm within safe limits.
I've always been skeptical of the Barnes bullets, but am going to give these 80's a shot for the upcoming deer season. Figured they'd be a good all around load for Deer, Hog's and Coyotes. Also, at the speed I'm getting, the trajectory will be the same as my 257 and 270 Wby's shooting 115's and 130's, respectively. Sure makes it easy when remembering how much holdover to use!
