Quick load request 350 Legend Barnes 170 TSX

Looking for a list of powders that would work for the Barnes 350 Legend TSX FB 170 HP. I’ve checked the Barnes web site and surprisingly… even though I think I have a big selection of powders… the ones they list aren’t mine. For reference here is the list from Barnes. I also saw Winchester is going to release a 255gn HP deer season bullet for 350 legend, not available at Midway yet. Will check others… so looks like bullets are starting to come out for 350 legend. I took the gun to the range and that federal box ammo leaves a big hole. Rifle is a savage… short heavy barrel. Got speeds between 2147-2213 FPS… so even with a short barrel it moves… temp was 81f while I was shooting… so a bit hot…

I'm not able to find that Barnes FB 170 HP in my bullet library. Tried to find it in the .355" diameter bullet selections, highest bullet weight in my file .355" is a 125 grain. Not sure if you use .357" diameter bullets, but the highest bullet weight I have is a 140 grain. Hopefully someone has an upgraded version or a .355" bullet file which includes the 170 grain. I have the 3.9 version.

Hammer bullets has a 172gr mono designed for the 350 Legend. Normally, Hammer bullets open at lower velocities (1,800fps) than many competing bullets. That might be an important consideration when muzzle velocities are low.

Just a thought.
