xltfordtrk,
I use TSX bullets in all my hunting rifles and got reloading tips directly from Barnes on how to start reloading these bullets. First thing to do is to find your own OAL for your rifle. Do this by taking an unprimed case that has been sized and seat a TSX in the case at the MAX O.A.L. Then candle the bullet or you can use a sharpie marker then chamber the dummy and eject it then check for marks from the lands. If there is marks adjust your seating die down a couple thousands seat your bullet and repeat marking and chambering. When you eject your case with no marks from the lands then you have your MAX O.A.L for your rifle. Once you reach that point Barnes suggests seating the bullets .030-.050 of the lands for best results. They are good bullets and I have found them to be very accurate and devastating on game so if you take the time to find your length and reload these bullets you won't be dissapointed! I use a 210gr TSX in my .338 RUM and drive it at 3376fps this loads shoots .5 to .75 and hits harder than a MAck truck!
