Hey Eric, You can find these springs listed occasionally on Gun Broker. There are also some members who list them from time to time.

Does any have any reloading data with bullet weights they want to share that they've had good accuracy with, also has anyone tried the Barnes TSX 180 and 200 gr. in their reloading adventures. I would like to possible try the Barnes 180 gr. but I need some safe powder charges to start with. Thanks, ...

Congrats to your Grandfather, very good picture.
