Barnes 120 grain Tac-Tx finally available to reload

The 110 is a flat-base. The 120 is a boat-tail. So your rifle may be more accurate with one vs the other at close range vs long range. It is just an alternative to test out and see which you prefer.

For close-in self defense, which is what I like 300 BLK for, I would tend to pick the 110. For long range, the 120 may or may not have less wind drift.

It's Christmas time. Why do you want me to spend more money and do more testing? It's getting cold outside too.

You'll need the kind of powder that gets your barrel to grow .

Didn't know they were selling Viagra like goody powders yet.

Yeah I'm curious as to how these would shoot at higher velocities in bigger 30 calibers. Anyone know if they could handle 27-2800 fps?

I have ran the 110's to 2800, I think TXR has ran them over 3,000 successfully. If the 120's are constructed the same there should be no problem.

What powder were you running to get that velocity? The best I've gotten was 2400 with 110s.

I got that using 296 in a 24" bolt action. COL was 2.435"

TXR loaded the bullet in a 30 Herrett to get 3000.
