It really depends on how your rifle likes it. For me it seems my rifle prefers running on the ragged edge for best accuracy (which isn't very friendly to brass life). 28.5gr was much better for me than 28.0, so I'm planning to try some at 28.2-28.3 next time out.Μολὼν λαβέ

This was about the 4th reload on lee dies. AA brass. I will dial my gas block back to zero for the next few runs.

You need to dial back your gas block, use a heavier buffer, use a stouter spring, use a carrier weight system....or all of them!

I just loaded up some of the 123 AMAX "preferred load" with 8208 XBR. My range is closed until January, but I might make the trek out to another range that has a 300m range.
I've got a BHW 20" with an LBC chamber. It usually does 1.5 moa with most loads I've tried, but a couple loads do around 3/4 moa. Really hoping it likes the 123 AMAX, I built it to be 1/2 moa rig...
A question for competition shooters or guys with polygonal BHW barrels: How many rounds do you go between cleaning without a noticeable loss in accuracy? I picked up some bore tech eliminator, but haven't tried it yet.

Can't help you on your barrel question but you did get a good solvent for copper. I've been using it for quite a while and I like the fact I can soak the bore with a patch, let it sit over night, hit it with a brush the next day and a few patches later the barrel is clean. Nice and easy without much effort. Also there no chance of damage like with some other solvents.NRA life, GOA life, SAF, and TSRA

120SMK
28.0gr 2567fps
28.5gr 2583fps
123 AMAX
28.0gr 2539fps
28.5gr 2577fps
The best group was with the AMAX load with 28.5gr at 0.81". I was using PPU brass with CCI 200 primers.
