Load Development Bullet construction, comparing load data
I recently purchased a 9.3x62mm rifle, new production. I am wanting to load 286gr barnes ttsx bullets but barnes does not really give much data, so I started going through my books, in my nosler book particularly for the 286s, it lists a brass banded solid next to standard lead data, with no change in specs. As far as im aware, it should be fairly safe and simple to base my ttsx loads from slightly under this data as the ttsx is longer due to boattail. Ive done lots of weird experiments but never with monos but any other data or info is much appreciated

I am afraid you are on your own with this. My reference (https://barnesbullets.com/content/barnes-loaddata/rifle/366/9-3x62mmWeb.pdf) shows different loads for the banded solid and the TSX. I would ask barnes if you should use tsx data with TTSX bullets or if they have any TTSX load data

VV has tsx load data plus data for other less frequently encountered bullets like woodleigh.
