375 firts barnes X bullets black box.......need loads

[fan300mag]

Hello to all

I live in Mexico City and heree is realy difficult to get a reloading thinks, as bullets, primers and powder.

And I get a 6 black boxes, of 300grs barnes x bullets.

the first that i know, are complete made of copper, no lines lake the tsx.

so wich loads i can use?? because the contact area of the bullet with the barrel is realy long, more than the tsx bullets, and i´m nervius about presure.

So if some one has experience with that bullet please some advice.

i have a IMR-4320, IMR-4350 & VARGET, and win and rem cases.

Thanks in advance

I don’t reload a 375 but some people have some good recipes

loads for barnes bullets in .375 H&H?

I picked up a box of .375 270gr TSX and a box of 300gr TSX at the store on my way home from a shoot but they didn't have a barnes manuals in stock. I checked the barnes website and they have load data posted but nothing with my powders. sadly its not like I can just run to the store and buy some...

This is from the Barnes #3 manual. I do not have an earlier manual from Barnes.

So, you said that i can use the swift data for this barnes x bullets, no problem with the presure,,,and the barnes tsx has a lines that reduce the contact with the barrel and obvius the presure was reduce.

and what about the "fps" i read that barnes, has a minimun speed for a good results and performance of the bullet on game,

So if one of the old time africa hunter used this bullets and want to share his experinces with this bullet really i will really appreciate it

Thanks in advance

You have the original Barnes X. I would go with Varget. Start at 65 grains and plan on stopping at 68 grains. Overall length still 3.6 inches.

This is from an old Barnes manual that had the old X-bullet.

Meighbucks, from this old manual… do you have the pages on the .505 Gibbs, .577 NE & .600 NE ? If so, it would be a great help.
