If so I'm kicking going this way and a PRi "target" tube to keep costs down somewhat. (Laid off and continuing a MK12 build makes for temporary concessions.) Thanks! It's nice to have it together  I just need to get the collar to stay tightened down.
My top rail installed directly to the handguard, I had to take off the short rail that was already on the tube. |

So I'm relatively new to precision shooting and I need to be schooled on ammo for a minute. I've always just shot 55gr ammo and I know there's a big difference between that and heavier loads, such as the Mk262 77gr round. Are you guys shooting the heavier loads exclusively in your '12s or are you switching back and forth between standard stuff, and is there a noticeable difference of POI shift between the two?
I know what to expect; I think I need to zero and shoot exclusively with Mk262 or something similar to really appreciate the capabilities of this rifle. |

why would you shoot 855?
What kind of failures were you having with tula? I think you already know that your scope is a very poor choice for your setup...

Me I lucked out as both of mine shoot the 55 grainer's decent. POI is about 1/2 different from my 77gr.SMK handloads at 100yds, not enough to worry about. I'm glad as I have a few 55gr's laying around.

Shit that's a lot of ammo! So yeah I used a WOA 18" SPR with a 1:7 ratio so I reckon I should be shooting something heavier than 55gr. |

I was asking about 855 because I have around 1k heads lying around waiting to be loaded. I was having failures to feed, double feeds, and failure to lock the bolt back/load the next round. No failures to eject, though. Didn't have any problems in my M4 or Mk18 Mod0, though. |

If you have a Dillon there are a ton of loads that will let you use the mk12 to its full potential. Don't even bother with the m855, because of the steel core it's not very accurate. The Nikon should work just fine, I wouldn't pay attention to the BDC or turrets calibrated for 55gr. BDC's are never quite right anyway, if you want to use it you'll have to test it with your load and workout your own holds. Just use the turrets to dial the elevation like you would with any scope. I used a $200 Vortex on mine until i found a deal on a Leupold 3.5-10x, it worked just fine. When you can aford the spec scope get it. Originally Posted By RTUtah:

I know what to expect; I think I need to zero and shoot exclusively with Mk262 or something similar to really appreciate the capabilities of this rifle. I feel the MK12 is as much about the mk262 as anything else. They were developed for each other, you aren't going to see the full potential of one without the other. There is nothing wrong with shooting 55gr, it will work just fine. Some posts quoting 1/7" as being too fast for 55gr is nonsense, I've yet to see any proof of 55gr ammo not working in a 1/7". I've shot thousands of rounds of 55gr ball in a variety of 1/7" with no problem. I handload so using the heavy stuff is a no brainer. If I didn't, I think I'd save the mk262 for long range and use 55gr NATO for 100-200yds. Hornady makes steel cased 75gr training ammo that may be worth a look, Black Hills has numerous other loads that are less expensive than the mk262 at ~$1ea. |

I hear ya, trust me I'm there myself. Didn't mean to come down on you or anything, just wanted to make the point that I think that anything you try to work up with that ammo/scope combo , especially with the lighter stuff like 55gr is not going to be nearly reflective what the barrel or the rest of the gun is actually capable of.
BDC's in general can either be the greatest things ever or a real pain in the neck depending on what your trying to do with the rifle. I would definitely just ignore it completely on something like this. Even if you were using a a calibrated BDC like on some of the ACOG or Custom turrets or whatever, the external variables alone would be more than enough to act as a limiting factor in terms of accuracy from this type of gun.

UTAH, mine will handle 193 and 855, but it absolutely eats 75's and 77's but from 75-120yds you can still 10 ring with any of 'em.

People are going to be reluctant to give you load data because every rifle is a little different. We dont know what chamber your rifle has, what brass you are using, primers, etc. The standard answer is to get some good published load data, start low, and work up. Easiest place to start is with a good manual, if you don't have one(you should have atleast 1) go to the powder or bullet makers website and see what they have. I know Hodgdon has load data on their website. |

I finally bought myself a chronograph and gathered some data with my HCS MK12 Mod1 the other day.
...................................................Avg. velocity................ES.................SD Federal M855 5.56mm.....................3066......................38.07.............11.91 BH Reman 77gr .223........................2598.....................104.1.............33.22 BH Red box 77gr. 5.56mm...............2758.....................29.62..............9.84 I was rather surprised by the difference in both velocity and consistency of the two Black Hills loads. Interestingly they both maintain about 1 MOA out of my gun The M855 was very consistent, better than I would have thought - only good for about 2 MOA though. |

I have everything but the stripped lowers, and the suppressor and optics... I think 5 years of looking at everybody else's is long enough.

Mattyvac, I've never profiled a barrel shorter than 16" for the OPS 12th, but on my 16" Krieger Recon it has zero POI shift, as well as functioning perfectly with quality ammo and demonstrating increased accuracy. I'm surprised more shooters don't use the 12th with a 16", it's a match made in heaven.
