When loading a Barnes TSX, Tipped TSX or LRX bullet, your rifle may prefer a bullet jump of anywhere between (a minimum of).050 up to.250 or more.This distance off the lands (rifling), aka jump may be limited to the rifles throat length, magazine length and bullet length.When selecting the cartridge overall length (COAL) we recommend starting with a minimum jump of.050 off of the lands.You can test different seating depths and find a sweet spot that your particular firearm prefers.
We suggest working in at least.025 increments as follows seating the bullet deeper to allow a further jump. This length can be determined by using a Stoney Point Gauge or other methods. You do not have to seat the bullet at, or on one of the cannelure rings. Remember there are many factors that may control or limit the seating depth for your application. You may find that you need to start at around 0.150 off the lands and are not able to get any closer due to limiting factors including proper neck tension and magazine length. In rifles that have long throats you may be limited on how close you are able to get the bullet to the lands. In these instances, it is not uncommon to find the best accuracy with a jump of.200 or more. This jump may possibly stay the same regardless of powder or charge weight within a given rifle. If preferred accuracy is not obtained, we certainly recommend trying another powder, for the powder type and charge greatly affects the overall accuracy of each individual firearm. FYI- An accurate load requires a bullet with the proper consistent case neck tension which leads to more constant pressures and velocities. Handloader Magazine often prints their test results in which Barnes TSX bullets produce accuracy results that are just as good, if not better than match-grade bullets.

Bullets from other manufacturers may not produce equivalent pressure or velocities; therefore, it is not recommended that this data be used with components.
