30 06 barnes ttsx. An email to barnes finally got a response. My most accurate load in my 30 06 is 55 0 grains of imr 4350 pushing a barnes 168 ttsx. I m sure someone with any amount of marksmanship talent could tighten that group up easily. I haven t used any tsx or ttsx in the 30 06 but i have a couple rifles that shoot barnes bullets very well and one that doesn t like the new tsx design too.

Our boxed bullets were designed for the 300 win mag and are not the same as our factory loaded 30 06 150 ttsx. I can t speak to the specific load and 30 06 rifle but i can attest to the barnes bullets you have chosen. For coal follow barnes suggestion and start with 0 050 off the lands.
I use them in 308 s 35 wheelen and 30 378 wby mag. The bullets aren t the same. I get 1 2 inch groups out of my t c venture. All animals have gone straight down or taken no more than a few steps including my elk.
180gr ttsx 1 500 fps i use quite a few barnes ttsx bullets for hunting 6 5mm 277 cal 7mm 308 cal 375 cal and the 165gr in your 30 06 sprg would be very effective out to 400 yards and even 500 yards and that s at sea level assuming you can keep the mv around 2 800 fps which isn t too hard.
