    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    Not to pester, but can you explain why one is better than the other? I get some are fast and hot, some are slower, but what’s that really mean. Varget will be slower and more gentle, but how? Will the A2700 behave differently with interlocks cause they are softer and shorter, or is it useless...

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    They been on the shelf for a year or better. It was an impulse buy when there was nothing to be had at the stores. I figured I’d give them a try. I may just go back to a lead bonded bullet. Worst case I can drop down to 44 grains and shoot deer in the eastern hardwoods at 25 yards all day long.

    Thanks Addicting. They are Winchester. I’ll look for some other primers and powder.

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    I don’t mean to keep dodging the pressure issue. I was clearly all over it yesterday before backing down on the powder, but I want to address the question in post 11. If I flat out abused some brass yesterday, cleaned and resized it last night, loaded it back up this morning and shot it again...

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    I ripped off three fouling shots, then set up the range and let the gun cool. It probably took an hour to shoot that 10 shot group. I may have sped up a little after that, but didn’t get smoking hot. I’m not dismissing anything anyone says here. I have one kind of primer and a couple kinds of...

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    Shot 3 fouling shots, then a 10 shot group. The two lower ones definitely had a different cheek weld on them. I had my head slightly higher on those two shots, if that makes a difference. The far right shot was the last shot, so I’m going with, passed the sweet spot on the fouling. I’m just...

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    I see the primers getting flatter, but no real residue around the primers. An occasional light extractor mark, but nothing you could feel or catch on a fingernail.

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    Bumped them all back to .50 off the lands. Shot this morning. Started with 45gn of A2700. Went to max looking for pressure signs. Very faint extractor marks at 47gn. Bolt stated getting snug at 47.5-48. Blown primer at 48.5gn. Went back to 45.5 and 46.5gn. I guess in need to keep it at around...

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    I had my hands on some 139 CXs today but didn’t buy them since I had 6-7 boxes of the Barnes already that I’d bought a while back.

    Barnes TTSX-BT 140gn 7mm-08

    I get limited range time so I was planning on just using 150 ELD-X in the Hornady Precision Hunter. They do ok in the gun. It’s kind of late for this season, but I started working up a new load today. 140 TTSX-BT over A2700. I started at 45gn and went to 48.5gn in .5gn increments. I’m at...

    Shot my Hawken

    Every now and then I make a pipe. I will stain it black, then sand it all down. Then go over it again with a lighter color before it gets waxed. It makes the grain pop. Stained black Sanded Stained orange/tan Waxed I wonder how that would work on a full stock.

    Shot my Hawken

    I like it. I see a build in my future. Did you burn that stock any, or is that just what the finish brought out? What did you rub it with? Somewhere I have a ramrod I burned tiger stripes into.
