I've tried to get the 123 Amax to shoot well for me, but always seem to get a least one flier. I've tried various charges of XBR 8028 and CFE 223. The best load was 28.5 XBR 8028. That load was sub MOA, but when I loaded more and shot another group, I had fliers that opened it up to 1.5 inches. Since I has at least one good group with that combo, I'm wondering if it is the bullets causing the issue. I've had the 60 gr Vmaxes do the same thing in a match 223 Wylde barrel. Has anyone else had issues with fliers with the 123 Amax?
I think I'm going to pick up some 120 and 107 gr SMK's and 100 and 120 gr Nosler BT's to see if I can't get this barrel to shoot better. I haven't seen much load data for the lighter bullets. I have H335 on hand and it seems to perform well according to the Lyman manual. Does anyone have an accurate load they worked up with the 107 match king or 100 gr ballistic tip?

This was 28.5 gr XBR 8028 and 123 Amax. I have not been able to reproduce this group

31.5 gr CFE 223. I had a good group going, but the flier opened it up to 2"

30.0 gr CFE 223

29.5 gr CFE 223. That is a 5 shot group
