Default What load for Barnes ttsx 150gr 30-06

I can't seem to find much on loads using hmr4350 powder with the ttsx 150gr in 30-06. I found someone on a forum that used 60grs h4350 and that comes up the neck of my case so i didnt use it. Just wondering what other guys use for a load that seems to work for them? I also have access to imr4064. Thanks in advance.

Nosler lists 59gr of IMR 4350 as the max for the 150gr E-tip. You can use a drop tube funnel to keep the powder from filling so far up the neck.

If you want to try some newer Powders for that combo .. Hodgdon 100-V and Ramshot Big Game are two real good ones..

My pet load is 58 gr of IMR 4350 and a 150 TTSX. Work up loads from 57.5-59gr you’ll find a load that works.

I’ve used H4350 with that bullet for years.

My old 30-06 loves Varget with 150grs. Not he best burn rate for the 06 but you have to let the gun talk to you.

I do not reload TTSX but below are some loads from my loading spreadsheet.
As always use it at your own risk.
