I am looking for loads currently being used by others for the 115 grain Barnes TSX, in a .257 WBY. I would prefer to use the following powders if possible. I've tried 115 Partitions, 110 Accubonds, and 117 Sierra Pro-Hunters but am looking now to the 115 TSX. The rifle is a Weatherby Mark V, Fibermark, 26" bbl., topped with a Leupold VXII 3-9X40mm LR reticle. Thanks in advance for your help.
