Having a rifle built right now with 1-8 twist. Any data for the 212 lrx? Coal?

If it were me I'd start with 300 prc data and start with a mid range charge and go up from there since they do not list the 30 nosler and they are very similar in case capacity.
As far a Coal that's up to you to measure when your rifle is finished and determine where you need to seat.
Not sure about the 212's but every Barnes I've ever loaded I usually just start them at 0.050" off.

The 212 LRX's have a driving band on the lower 1/4 -1/3 of the bullet, so you are limited on seating depth. Recommend OAL for a 300 PRC is 3.960. I used 3.950. Shot a ladder today at 300, 8 shots had a vertical of 1.25". Ladder was using H1000 from 77.0 to 80.5 going .5 gr increments. Velocity was from 2830 to 2969 . Had a velocity flat spot at 78.0, 78.5, 79.0 velocity was 2873 to 2904 fps. Going to load 5 at 79.0 reshoot and chrono at 300 yards.
With a OAL of 3.950 these are single load only.

What's your barrel length?

Interesting. What's the desired velocity, range, and quarry?

What did Barnes say?
I would look at Barnes data first, I know it is very different using their bullets in my 264WM, 270 Weatherby, 300WM, 300RUM and 375 Weatherby.
I would contact Barnes directly.
Cheers.

26" with a 8.5 twist. No bullets went through the target sideways.

I didn't measure base to ojive but the bullet did not contact the rifling.
I don't think they will because of the band.
