Is anyone reloading Barnes 85 gr TSX bullets for a .243 win. Have you found a good load and setup you could share?

Thanks
 
I load the tsx in a 243 using 45 grains of RL19. It is in a stevens model 200. Bullets touch at 100 and it has proven itself on deer. 3 shots in 3 years all went about 18 inches, straight down! I think speed is around 3250 or so. It shoots so good and it is my daughters rifle that speed doesn't matter as much. Hope this helps.
 
I am developing a load for the 80 grain TTSX with N140. Started with .010 off lands and groups looked promising. Changing seating depth to .050 off lands to see any improvement.
