Checkout Hodgdons website.
Only got to shoot one white tail doe with the 160 ttsx ,but I would definitely use the 160 again.
I used H4350,but for some reason H4350 isn't listed anymore.

Can't speak for RWK, but since I couldn't use my 338 win for my intended purpose Elk & Moose the 160 ttsx worked good for white tail. 2-3" exit wound on 30 yard lung shot.Had a MT Elk tag,but my friend bailed on me after scouting and buying a rifle. I realize I could have sold the rifle,but if I ever get a chance again for Elk or Moose I'm ready. Been shooting Hornady Super performance 185's lately because I haven't been able to reload. DoubleTap 160's are just a little too much $$. When I can load again it will be 160 ttsx.

I can't understand why someone would buy a cannon and want to fire a ball bearing out of it. Lightest that I ever fired was the 200 grain, and I preferred the 275 grain Speer when in the hills. Too many grizz there to be shooting at them with a pellet gun.

Don't have my load notes handy as there at the hunting camp,so can't help you with H4350.
If my memory serves right I think both Hodgdon and Barnes list H414 for the 160 ttsx.
My data for H4350 came from a yearly publication of Hodgdons back in the early 2000's era. You can probably email them and get the scoop.

I have never loaded the 160 Barnes but I did shoot my deer last year with a Barnes 225 TSX. It was a bang flop and very little meat damage. I have also used 180 and 200 gr. 338 bullets in a 338-06 with good results.
Good luck with the 160's they should work just fine.
