Try posting this over in the reloading forum, if you have not already. For the possiblity of litigation, most people will not tell you what their load is, but give you a range. I would suggest buying a Barnes manual, if that is what you want to shoot. From experience(and I love the Barnes bullets), the "X", "XLC", and the "TSX", like to be seated about 0.050" off the lands.

thanks for the headsup on the reloading forum. i was unaware. mostly just looking for powder brands that would seem to be most compatable with the short mags. 0 -

Keep in mind that reloading data suggested is exactly that, suggested, not cast in stone. You still have to do the testing and load work up.
