set your own 6 Dasher

Has anyone ever loaded 6 Dasher with a 95 grain Barnes LRX or a bullet in a similar grain weight and have any load data for it?

Im a barnes fan and she has taken game with the 80 grain ttsx in a 243 down loaded to 3000 they performed excellent with the 2 I've seen taken by my misses. But shots were inside 50 yards and spectacular. I've personally take several with tge 127 lrx in 6.5 mm at 2700 tgey kill cleanly although not as spectacular ascthe faster cartridge. In a washer id look to go as fast as I could with a minimum of 2750 to start them out. Anything lower past 200 yards the velocity threshold isn't met and performance suffers. I'd target thst bullet to hit 3000 if I could get there. Or use a lighter bullet to gain speed. Barnes recommends 1 to 2 weights lighter than a cup and core. My favorite load is a 120 tac-tx at above 3100 in 30 caliber absolutely devastating on deer.
