Rolled some rounds this afternoon, I hope to get to the range tomorrow after work to try 'em out! They are Barnes TTSX in 100gr (left) and TSX in 120gr (right) for my .260 Rem.
Hot off the press!

Nice, couple questions...
Because of the bullet type these are for hunting? Why no crimp? And does the extended COAL pay dividends for your rifle?

1. I would say yes.
2. Dont need a crimp unless you use in a semi auto and even then lots of guys dont crimp.
3. Yes in most rifles loading just off the lands works very well.

Sorry the question was more for the OP. Reason I ask is cartridges loaded for hunting I crimp as the cartridge rocks about in a magazine all day. However, some guns fire weird bullets for best accuracy loads so this may be for target shooting as the .260 is one heck of an accuracy gun I just wanted to make sure. I am aware seating off lands is beneficial, but I wanted the OPs experience with seating experiments and how it's been effecting his loads. I started shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor and seating to 2.820 seems to be my magic spot. Closer introduced inaccuracy. OP?

I know. I was just putting words in his mouth. More then likely its a hunting rig. Ive had ammo bouncing around in the truck for a few years and bullets havent moved yet.

Your bench is way too clean.
Let us know how they shoot.

Thanks for all the kind comments! This is definitely a hunting rig, mainly for coyotes or deer. I'm shooting a Tikka T3 so I have to load them to fit my magazine. One of the downsides with a Tikka is there isn't much room to play with seating dept while staying within your magazine's limits. Thanks.
Your chargemaster is inaccurate!? Send it in for warrenty. I have been using mine for over a year, and it works great!
The only
Issues I have had is if I leave a charge in the pan for more than a few minutes. The charge weight on the LED read out slowly creeps up .1 grain at a time. After an hour or so, it will read .3 grains heavier than it really is.
I purposefully left a charge like this. Waited about an hour, dumped the charge into a temporary case.
When the chargemaster reloaded the pan, everything was in check.
I double checked the wieght of the powder in the temporary case, and it was fine.
As with any electronic powder measuring device, you need to pay attention to it, and recheck every so often.
If you do that it will give you years of good service.
