Barnes load data needed

[Buzzsaw]

I did a search and am too cheap to buy the manual. Does anybody have load data for the 70 gr Barnes Triple Shock X- bullet? I'm shooting a 20', 1-8 twist, AR-15 in .223 and would like to load these mag length. This load will be for Texas deer and hogs. Isn't there some type of modification when loading all copper bullets?
Thanks

My #2 only shows weights for the 53 grain bullet..... sorry....

Thanks George and forgive my cheapness

I have some IMR 4895. Are the burn rates close enough to interchange?

Try 23gr of Benchrest

I popped for a Barnes #4 Manual, so in the .223 Remington section, it recommends, for deer, the 70 grain TSX BT bullet with Alliant RL-15 powder @ 24.5 grains for a muzzle velocity of 2915 fps. Since I don't know what ambient temperature the manual used, I'd say start at 22.5 grains and work up due to hot Texas weather conditions. The C.O.L. was 2.250". Use your chronograph to stay safe. A 1-in-8" twist is minimum to stabilize these bullets. If you have a 1-in-12" twist barrel, stick with 53 grain Barnes TSX FB bullets with Hodgdon H4895 powder @ 25.5 grains for 3292 fps. Always use Magnum small rifle primers for these hot loads, and that's my advise. Cliffy
