Ok, so I decided not to fire the compressed loads over the holiday until I spoke to Barnes today. Very glad I did. They said the new loading info for the 168gr TSX 30-06 round is max of 60.5grains of RL19. I asked him why their website said the TSX max would be 1 to 2 grains OVER the max listed for the XLC bullet which is 62 grains. He said, yeah...strange huh? It normally is, but not on this one.

I'm going to hold off on these bullets until I get some more info...this just doesn't sound right.
