Just got some new 243 brass in and I want to try something else with the Barnes 85gr TSX. I was able to get 38.4 of Varget with CCI BR2's @ 2.625" COL to group reasonably well, but I can't help but think this particular gun (Savage w/24x Weaver scope) and bullet are capable of better performance.
Please share details on any loads that you all have worked up with this bullet, or with the 80gr "TTSX" version.
Is Varget the best powder, or should I be looking at:
4064
4350
4831
H414
RL19
what?
Maybe I'll find that everyone is just all over the place with what they are using, but looking to learn from the experience on this site -- and to hopefully save myself some $$$ in the process where these bullets definitely aren't cheap to shoot!
Thanks in advance for the pointers.
