For the 120 grain TTSX I use 2.278, I don't know for the TSX

Razor This is what Barnes says "We recommend seating these bullets .050″ off the lands {rifling} of your rifle. 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 annular rings."

I know what Barnes says (as rasp65 pointed out), but I have had good luck with the rounds .010 off of the lands in my rifle. Best groups (to date) have been with 30.0 and 30.3gr of CFE 223 and 29.5gr of WIN 748. Velocity for the WIN 748 is 2395 average, for the CFE 2435 for the 30.0gr and 2468 for the 30.3gr. Length to o-give is 1.73. COAL is around 2.25. CCI No 41 primers, Hornady brass. All three loads are sub MOA at 100yds.

Good luck.
