If anyone has any loading experience with these bullets, please post your loads. I need some help getting them to fly little better.
 
No experience with those bullets but I use Varget powder with 155gr Scenars in a 1:10 twist Shilen barrel and get 1/4 MOA at 100yds. Have you tried varget? My load was 44.8gr Varget, Lapua Brass, rem 9 1/2 LR primer. Bullet was seated .005" off the lands. Start low.

Model 700, Gen 2, 5R
Lapua Brass
Fed 210M
46gr of Varget
.030 off the lands, contrary to Barnes suggested .050.
I'm still working on this, but excluding the one cold bore shot to the left, it's pretty decent considering we are less than or right at 50 rounds on a new / OEM barrel. I load Barnes for several different rifles and to be at 3/4 MOA, is pretty decent. I can easily get Berger to .3 or better.

My next adventure is the 130gr TTSX in my .308. Will be a few weeks but will post the results if acceptable. The load above is for my son's rifle and the load he will hunt with this year.
