    Stick to the 123gn pill (i run mine with a suppressor). Has to be my favourite round in >10.5 barrel.

    Almost certain it's a 20" barrel and was really hoping to use the 129/130 as I also shoot the infamous Creedmoor

    Nice! I run a 22in OdenWorks. 129gn would get it done for sure. With than heavy I have no input on powder, I have kept mine pretty near the top end.

    I use the 123 gr SST over CFE223. Dropped both of my mule deer last year one shot each. I hear the IMR8208 powder is excellent as well.

    I've got a 20" Faxon match-series barrel, and have had great success with 100, 120, and 123gr bullets, all with 8208xbr. I've tried H335 and CFE223, but haven't matched the results with 8208.


    For hunting I have been shooting 120gr Nosler BT Hunters with 8208, and it's done a fine job on pigs.
