I'm looking for info on this 14" barrel XP- 100. Would like to use 50-60 gr. bullets. Have lots of powders for .223. Thanks!

Good place to start is with your's or a good reloading manual, find the start load, with any one of the powders you have and work up one that that firearm likes. Bill K

( Hodgdon Data site is a good start, if you do not own a reloading manual)

15 inch Bartlein 1-12 twist...

I have really good results with 52 grain Bergers over 8208 in Lapua brass.

Bouddha, I can duplicate that load. Good start! Anybody else?

Well then, if you want a example. I use CFE 223 under a 55 grain sp, with LC 5,56 brass in my 11 inch 223 TC contender. Bill K

14” Varmint Special I use 8208 and the 53V-Max it is very accurate and flat shooting,same hold on small steel plates at 200,300,and 400 yards.Very happy they are 12 twist.
