I jus tbought a weatherby vanguard in the .338 and found a 160 grain tipped tsx bt made by barnes but cant get any reloading info on this bullet. I was just wondering what kind of velocity i will get out of it I'm hoping at least 3350.

if you mean the 338-378 whby,hodgdon has data for the xfb that will be safe with the tsx tipped.the 225 bullet will shoot 1.5 inches lower at 500 yd with a 300 yd zero,but the 10 mph wind drift will be 6 inches less and energy will be 900 ft lb more.you will be handicapping yourself with the lighter bullet unless you are just looking for a light load.

I ordered a box of those for my .338 Lapua. I also bought one of the new Barnes manuals and it doesnt have any info on the .338 160 grain bullet in Win or Lapua. Must be newer than the book. :confused:

Midwayusa has some nosler .338 accubonds on sale have read positive responses on the accubonds on several forums from international users.I bought 180gr  blems for use in my 300wm that I used on a cow elk in AZ 3 yrs ago. I have another anterless elk tag for the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation late next month and will use them again.
