How many have a satern barrel? What is your primo accuracy reload? Let's see if anything jives...!!

2 of them. Best loads are XBR and the 107 Sierra. Tiny groups at 100 yards.

Then XBR and 123 Amaxs.

I'm really liking CFE 223, but haven't found a true accuracy node yet.

What's your xbr load with the sierra?

I have an 18" one
Longest one in my avatar

Fluted SS that I had bead blasted to take the shine off

My kids and I were not missing (for the most part) a 3" square steel target at 350 yards

I have only shot factory 123 AMAX rounds

I have a 20" that I got for Christmas several years ago. I finally put it together. I've only started working up ammo with XBR and Sierra 120 Match Kings.

20", 8208, 123 SMK & NCC. Good results with 123 & 100 Amax also but haven't worked with them too much.

ducks-and-bucks: Sorry I can't be of much help.

I have four or five but since I only shoot factory ammo, as I said, it doesn't help you much.

Good luck and great shooting.

Have a 24 inch Satern and the Hornady 123 A-max works so well out of it, I can't see any reason yet to bother handloading for it.

If you can't see any reason to handload what do you do with your spent brass/do you want to part with said used brass

[Grendel-Gene]

i have an 18 incher, fluted, stainless, and i have a 22 on order. no best load yet.

[Grendel-Gene]

not sure if it counts but i also have an 18 liberty....

[ducks-and-bucks]

I'm still working on loads. Just posted my development thus far.. I haven't taken past 100 yards yet. It may just be me, but if I cant get the group at 100 I doubt I can get the group at 200..

Greedily heaping it up in various containers for the day when I will eventually reload it.
I have been happy with the speed and accuracy of the Hornady A-max though I do hope to reload the hornady brass with the new 123 SSt of possibly barnes TTSXs. I have had mixed results with the A-max on game (just not penetrating properly) though everything shot with hit has been recovered easily - I just prefer a bullet that holds together better.

In the meantime, I am trying to learn everything I can from these threads.

Yep, satern 24" shooting 123 SMKs or 123 amax with 27 grains of 8208xbr. Fantastic accuracy. Are you guys pushing your 123s with more than 27 grs of 8208xbr? My brass was ruined when I tried 28 grains or more.
