30/06 And 130 Grain TTSX

[jwp475]

I loaded some 130 grain TTSX for my 30/06 in Winchester cases, Federal 215 primers and 58 grains of CFE223. I shoot them in a day or so, anyone tried this combo?

The Barnes TTSX 130 is a great bullet and is my go to, but with Varget. There is no need for a magnum primer and the group sizes likely will shrink with a F210 or other large rifle primer.

3100 - 3200 fps is the sweet spot, even though 3200+ is easy to attain.

John Barnesness has stated that with ball powders like CFE223, Power Pro Varmint just to name a couple, that a magnum primer produces more consistent results.

John has lots of good info and certainly is worth heeding.

Either way, the .308 TTSX 130 is a wonderful bullet for hunting.
