Looking for a quick load for 130 ttsx in 30-06,

[Gm weatherby man]

Looking to load a reduced load fot daughter in her axis rifle, darn thing kicks to much for her. I have varget , h 4350, r17, in what I think will be the best. I do have others and will take all info offered.

IMHO, I would not reduce the 130 TTSX, they like speed. I would load the 125 Nosler BT at reduced velocity.

 

[FOTIS]

May i suggest hodgon's reduced loads BUT with the 125 BT instead. you do not want these things penciling through!

40gr to 45 gr of H4895 is good

I think 2800-2900 fps will be fine guys, I've loaded them down to 2300 fps, shot a deer, tested on 4ltr jugs with perfect petal after 1 and a perfect imprint on paper just behind all at one hundred yards. I know my bullets, if I was as good at the stock market id be doing fine lol.

I don't have much experience with Barnes bullets but I did use them briefly back in 07 with a rem 700 30.06. The bullet was a 130gr TSX and RL15. Accuracy was good and I harvested several deer with that load. I never shot it through the chrony so I don't have any ideal what the velocity was. My notes state that the bullet was loaded 0.050 off the lands. Mike

Dang those are good looking loads. Seems like a 130 in a 30-06 would be dynamite on deer.

I loaded 125 BTs with 42 grains of H4895 in my 30-06 for a little play around at the range once. Accuracy was quite good. I didn't chrono the load, but that seems like it would work if you have any H4895.

 

[Gm weatherby man]

I had made some great loads with 150 ab, s at 2600 fps, but ran out, havent hit the right day in oulets to find more. I was able to pick up the ttsx and ill make them a great flat 300 yard killer with great weigt retention and pentration , for the Parker Hale ill load them up to 3200-3300 fps to some what make up for giving the bee to son in law.

It is like lightning struck them.


130 TTSX
54.5grs H4895
WW Brass
CCI 200 Sparklers
Light Crimp with LFCD

 

[SJB358]

That's a good reason to pick up a 30-06 one of these days.

You don't own a 30/06?


I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore........

I love the 130 TTSX or TSX as my antelope bullet in the '06. Heck, I am going to use it for my son this fall for his first year of elk hunting as well. I have the utmost faith in the Barnes bullets to deliver when using them in lighter weights. BC's are virtually identical, and point of impact with same charge weights is identical. MV 3315 fps with IMR4320.

Anyway, not wanting to hijack this thread, but since the topic is at hand, could someone run a quick load for the 30-06 with 130 grain TTSX and IMR 4320?
22" bbl
70.4 gr H2O fired case capacity
3.290 OAL

Pics
-300 yd group (3" high sight in @ 100 yds). 2 bullet holes together on top left, one of those was my sighter, the other three were fired as the official group. Didn't make much difference in the overall size though.

-doe antelope, 130 TSX @ 150 yds.

Bonz, too cool, now ill have to buy some imr-4320, and hijacking you are not, one thing I enjoy is sharing ideas and information on this site.

 

[Bonz]

I would like to see a QL with the info I posted above. That would generate a list of many suitable powders, some may be better than IMR4320. Also will help confirm, despite no pressure signs, my load is safe.

Sorry Heath.... I'll reapply after I find an 06.....

Hi DrMike,

Can you do a QL for the 130 TTSX w/IMR4320 in my 30-06 Ruger M77 MKII?

Thanks in advance!
