I have a box of Barnes 180 grain ttsx that i would like to load in my 308 Winchester (since i dont have another 308 caliber) with Winchester 760 powder. does anybody have load data for this? I can't seem to find any on the Internet

Try looking at H-414 data. That's what you're looking for. W760/H-414 same same. Call Hodgdon and they can confirm it for you.

Hodgdon has data for W-760/H-414 and a 180 grain Sierra on their website. I'll have to check my Barnes' manuals at the house to see how the Sierra's match up, but I've typically found them to be pretty close. As far as the books are concerned though, you might have better luck finding the H-414 data than the W-760.

Strongbad is correct in that H414 and W760 are identical. Bear in mind that differing lots can vary slightly in burn rate, but that's true of all powders.

180 Barnes is a bit heavy for the 308.

I would agree. It wouldn't be one of my choices, since impact speeds will be fairly slow, and limit bullet expansion. But it will penetrate like no other!

another problem could be stability. The 180 is likely a very long bullet for the common 1:12 308 twist rate.

Those are long bullets., pls post results.. Thinking u won't b happy.

Any Barnes Bullets you want to reload use their info. Rest is for lead base bullets with harder composite jackets. 180 gr Barnes is pretty much way to heavy for about anything in Texas in a .308. They usually rec. a lighter than usual pill for most applications due to their performance.

Thanks guys. I updated the original post. I had the box sitting around and since it was my only 308 I would like to use them up. It will be for paper only.

Thanks
