Harumph!
With the popularity of the cartridge, it does make sense. |

That's like putting up loads for .30-30 Win or 7.62X39 ammo.

Go ahead and start a thread and I will add it to the new tacked post. They have all been marked "do not archive" so they won't disappear.

My go to load lately has been:
123gr SMK 28gr of TAC Seat at 2.25 Small rifle BR primers in Hornady brass. I have slightly better accuracy with 27.5 grs and the slower velocity, but I I don't mind losing .2 MOA to gain the FPS for banging steel at 800y. I'm also a fan of the 123 gr Scenar over 28gr of 8208 XBR, seated at 2.26". I sometimes have trouble finding the scenars in stock though. |

I haven't seen a barrel yet that doesn't like 27.6gr of AR Comp under some flavor of 123gr bullet.
20" Proof Research carbon fiber barrel Hornady once fired brass CCI #41 primer 123gr Lapua Scenar loaded to 2.260 COAL (1.721 off Hornady ogive gauge) 27.6gr AR COMP 2485-fps ES:10 SD: 4.5 over 10 shots 10 shot groups are around .6 consistently for me at 100 yards |

From my 18" SS PSA Upper:
28 grains of 8208 XBR 123 ELD-M 2525 fps 0.6" repeatable 28 grain of 8208 XBR 123 Sierra Match King 2540 fps 0.55" repeatable Place holder for CFE-223 Place Holder for AR_Comp I stated repeatable since I choose not to cherry pick a single "best" group and declare my loads as half moa. I have repeated these groups in similar conditions more than 3 times. My velocities are a bit higher than most. Could be the barrel, could be that I live at 6,000 ASL and routinely shoot at 8-10k ASL. |
