I recently acquired 100 Barnes 70 gr. M/LE TAC-X bullets and I can't find any information from Barnes about a recommended load.
The loads are supposed to be in their Tactical manual but it's as scarce as an honest politician. If anyone has the manual I would sure appreciate a scan of those loads.

seem to have trouble posting links.
Barnes site has load data for the 70gr. It is in the technical drop down menu. Varies slightly from what was posted above.

Thanks for your information. I'll try some of it but if anyone has access to that manual or can tell me where to get my hands on one this quest will come to a happy conclusion. Thanks Again.

I don't really know why you think you need this book? The mil/ le line does not differ in any way that changes its load procedure over that of the ttsx or tsx. I have there manual, data from my own loads and info from all the powder manufactures i use. How long have you been reloading?

This is 100% true the tsx and tac x are the exact same bullet. Just different packages. The ttsx uses the same load data as the same weight tsx or tac x. All the info can be found on the barnes website or in the standard manual.
