I do not have a way to hand load at present, but I am working on it. Having said that, I need some help choosing a load. I have a TC Dimension that I am working with. It comes with a 22" 5R rifling with a 1:12 twist rate. What SHOULD this barrel shoot best? This gun has factory MOA guarantee, but I feel it is far more capable, especially so with the work I will be doing to the bolt face and trigger. Thanks in advance.

168 or 175s FGMM will probably work great.

175gr is going to be about the limit for 1:12.

I shoot mostly 168s albeit through a 1:10.

If I had to pick one, I'd go with 168gr match in a 1:12.

175 smks are well into the fully stabilized zone in a 12 twist, even my 185 otms are in my 12 twist 20".

For that length of barrel, try some AA2520 behind those SMK 175s. You'll get bored shooting the "x" ring.
