« on: May 15, 2022, 02:34:45 PM »
I can’t find any load data for the Barnes 101 grain LRX, I’ve been trying reloader 22 with it and I’m not getting very good results, my gun shoots accubonds great but they are hard to find right now so I thought I’d give these a try, anyone have any experience with this bullet ? Any info appreciated

The .257 Wby loves slow slow powder. Try some RE25. You should be able to work up to the max load or close to it with data for the standard 100grn Barnes TTSX.

I have been using the data from the ttsx, I may try some 4831 next, reloader 25 is not listed in the book for the 100 grain

+1 for the RL-25
100 grain TTSX, 74 grains, RL-25. As always start lower and work your way up.
RL-25 is listed in other manuals and in online load data bases. It is listed in the Barnes manual for 115 TSX

I shoot some groups with the LRX bullet and imr 4831 today, basically got the same results, 1-1/2 inch groups, I think my gun just doesn’t like the Barnes bullets, it shoots 1/4 moa with reloader22 and 110grain accubonds

I had good results with IMR 7828 ssc with the 100 grain ttsx.  Half inch groups.  I'm going to pick up some of the 101 LRX next time I see them available.

My AccuMark likes Barnes TSX 100 in front of H1000. It does 3/4” all day and is fun to shoot.
