Hello, I'm looking for a developer/time recommendation for pushing Tri-x 320 TXP to 1600. I've used Tri-x 400 before but inadvertantly shot a brick of TXP 320 which I realize now isn't the best Tri-x for pushing. I generally use D-76 and HC-110 but am open to trying other developers. Thank you.

I've had great luck with Tri-X at 1200ish and developed in Acufine. Great stuff.
 
Thanks for your replies. My local store doesn't stock Xtol which is what the massive dev chart had most of its suggestions. I'll see if I can find the Acufine locally. Any suggestions on Acufine temp/times?
 
That is a tough spot you are on.
I think that if you can not get a hold of Xtol or DDX then HC110 would be your next choice

If you have HC110 I'd go for a high dilution (H) and a long (not very agitated) development. That way you keep the contrast in check while the dark zones develop.

Google covingtoninnovations and HC110 to get to their page full of goo dinfo.
