View Full Version : 5.56 / 223 with Barnes 45gr or (non-optimized) 50gr TSX?

Anyone know of a company loading either of these Barnes bullets? I know Black Hills loads their optimized 50gr, and I have some of them, but I’m interested in the standard 50gr or better, the 45gr.

In years past, SSA loaded the 45s, but no more.

Well, this isn’t looking too promising!

Anyone???

I think Remington loads something in that range the call “Hog Hammer” or something stupid like that.

Nvm... the Remington is 62gr and Barnes has a 55gr loading.

Thanks jsp.

Yeah, the Rem Hog Hammer is a good load. It’s the Barnes 62gr tsx which is my favorite 5.56 bullet. I wish Barnes, or anyone, would start loading the 45tsx again. I want to run some through the chronograph out of my SBR ans see how they do!
