Would appreciate load info for those using these.

Have Varget, H414, H4350, & IMR 4831 to use.

Thanks.

Jeff

Me too. I was just getting ready to start the same thread. Hope somebody has had some good experiences here

You can email Barnes. I did, they sent load data, but its on my computer at home. Havent got around to trying any yet due to the move and all.

Barnes PDF

Received a reply from Barnes today providing information specific to the 100 gr. TTSX in the 260.

Happy to share if someone can help me post a pdf file. Photobucket will not accept it.

Open PDF, screen shot, save as jpeg, post like a pic.

Thank you to 16bore.

Mine did well with Benchmark using the Hodgdon data as a guideline. None of the reported pressure issues that some others have claimed with that powder. Here is Hodgdon data for the 100 Barnes. Kinda scrambled from copy and pasting directly here, but it should be somewhat sensible.

Good question Jeff , I have a ss model seven 260 and one bullet chosen 100gr. ttsx , had the rifle over two years and have yet to fire it.
This page is saved to my favorites.

You're welcome Mike.

I just posted in the 260 load thread all of the updated data for all 6.5mm bullet weights for the 260 that Barnes sent me. They have more load data that what is shown in their online data base. Hopefully they will update their website data soon. In any event, their most current data is posted in the other thread.

I'll update there with whatever load I settle on, subject to what powders I have to try.

Outstanding Jeffbird, I just saw it over there.

It sure takes Barnes a long time to publish data. I bought #4 two years ago and not one TTSX bullet in it.

Thanks a bunch.

You're welcome.

Added it to the 260 load thread, but adding here also to make it easy to find for those running searches.

44.7 H414 - Avg - 3065 from a 22" 1:9"

The H414 could push it well beyond 3100, but found this to be the tightest load. 1/2 MOA or better from a stock Montana Rifle Company 1:9"

Very mild on the shoulder as well.

Lapua brass with F210M.

fyi - H414 is supposed to be the same powder as Win 760.
