80 gr SIE in magazine

[DresserDan]

any one load the SIE 80 in the magazine of a mod 12 223? What was your load and OAL?

Are you shooting a model 12 Varmint low profile? That's the only one I see in 223 that has the twist for an 80gr and a magazine. Cool gun, wish I had one :cool:

My BVSS will shoot up to 75 gr with its 9 twist, sorry I can't help you with the 80's.

Yes md 12 VLP DBM 223 it has the twist to handle the big bullets. I want to try some 80 but I don't have a single shot sled and have seen some reference to some shooting shorter OAL than what SIE and others state.
