Wanting to try the Barnes LRX 175 grain in my 300 Win. but my Hornady and Speer manual do not show the data for this I am using Reloader 22 but will try others if I can find data, does anyone know which manual covers this bullet?
 
In testing for my rifle (Howa 1500 with 26-inch barrel) with the Barnes 175 LRX the top powders were RL-26 and H1000 for accuracy
Using reloader 22 and getting good results powder around here is still pretty scarce and if you order close to 100 bucks a pound with all the hazmat and shipping gonna take a trip to Bass pro soon will look for both these Thanks
 
H1K worked great for me as well.
The normal 180 grain load data is where I started, started from that point.
The 180's work great too. Just whatever your rifle likes best.
 
I am using TTSX 180 grain in my 300 Win Mag. My original load was using H4831 SC which did well. I am now using H1000 and getting slightly better groups. Load data on Barnes website.
 
I've had good luck with my 300WM using either the 175 LRX or 180 TTSX and IMR4831.
 
I am considering dropping down to 168 bullets just to try h4350. I have 8 lbs of 4350 which if I get accuracy, then it might be worth it.
 
I load this for a friend's 300 Win Mag and he's getting 3064fps out of a 24" barrel with H1000. Better than 3/4 moa accuracy and very predictable drop/wind using the published 0.508 G1 ballistic coefficient. Load was worked up based on Hodgdon and Nosler load data for 175 and 180 grain bullets, then based on a pressure test ladder.
