Default RE: Barnes TSX bullets

The velocity was so much lower than the Barnes published figures for the uncoated bullet that I called them to see if it was a misprint. When I worked up to 96 gr. RL25 with the COATED verson the velocity was more in line. I have found that I can work up to the COATED max with the TSX but carefully.

That figure of 3050 was with the uncoated bullet with 89 gr. of RL25. The TSX will develop far less pressure and I suspect, in my gun anyway, that the velocity may be even lower with this load.
