Barnes LRX 175 grain

[elkhunter340]

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?

Barnes’ own load data online has worked well for me.

IMR 4831 and 4350 have both worked well. Set your COAL at .050 or less if you can.

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.

You guys talked me into it after all the good reviews on the H1000 broke down and ordered a pound from Midway just hate paying extra Hazmat fees for shipping will give it a try Thanks all
