3mm groups at 50m with the 260 and 1/2moa @ 100m with the Creedmoor. No pissing around so yeah just stuck with it. I did use the Hornady gauge to seat both 15 thou off the lands from the get go.

Hope that helps, let me know if you want specific load data.

Have you done any load development using 140gr bullets?
It would seem (based on everyone elses loads) that 2209 was the preferred powder for the 139gr, 140gr, 142gr bullets.
