Browning XB2 Speed - 30-06

[HuntClub]

Just brought one home. Anyone have one they have worked up a load for? I am planning to set up with 150 or 168 TTSX. I know what Barnes has for load data - looking for "real-world" experience from this knowledgeable group. This is going to be fun!

Well, nobody chiming in with that particular rifle. I have two 30-06s ( not Browning) and mostly shoot 150 grain loads at deer, sometimes maybe some 168 Bergers. I did recently develop a good hunting load for the 168 grain TTSX. I worked up slowly using H4350 until I got in the upper 2800 range with good accuracy. I’d have to check my notes but I think I wound up a couple grains above the book maximum charge weights to get to the top listed velocities. I’ve also used Staball 6.5 with very good results. That 168 TTSX worked very well on SA game.
Good luck
