12" Barrel pet loads? - ibshane - 05-12-2022
Hi Guys,
I cannot seem to find any short barrel specific load data.
Any of you care to share your pet load data for 12" Barrels??
TIA!

You can use the search engine. I have numerous posts along with many others on loads with my 12". I use 90g speer tnt for plinking around, hunt with 110g maker trex, others really like the 129ablr out of their shorties. I use 8208, ar comp and cfe223.

My PSA 12" barrel prefers 100 gr Sierra Varminters and 120 gr SMK's or Barnes Match Burners. It doesn't run the 90 grain stuff as well as my longer barrels do.
H335 for the 100 gr bullets around 2300fps (27-28 gr). XBR8208 (27-28 gr) or Varget (28-29gr) for the 120 grainers. in the 2200fps range. All deliver sub moa for me at 200 yds.
These are approaching top end loads, so work up to determine what is safe for your rifle. I'm running suppressed with an adjustable gas block.

N135 or Xterminator will give you a complete burn of your charge.
According to Gordon's Reloading Tool anyway.
