[QUOTE="Tyler Kee, post: 1488296, member: 107051"] RL-16 worked some magic in my 243 which has an 18" barrel. I'm sure that adding another 6" of barrel would certainly help your velocity woes. This is my load for the Barnes TSX. *****Disclaimer: My gun. My loads. Safe pressures. Don't load this directly and stick it in your gun***** Case: Hornady FL Resized Primer: CCI BR-2 Bullet: Barnes 85 gr. TSX Powder: RL 16 (42.3 gr) Loaded .050" off the lands 2908 fps I found a sweet little accuracy node for 95 gr BTs @ 2850 fps with that powder as well. H4350 and the 90s seemed to be a better combo. Either of those powders do really well with the heavy(ish) bullets. Here's the 4350 & 90 gr BTs Case: Lapua Primer: CCI BR2 Projectile: Nosler 90 gr ballistic tip Powder:H4350 (44.3 gr) Loaded .030" off the lands 2970 fps [/QUOTE]
