156 bergers wouldn't be going very fast out of a 16" barrel.With that fast of a twist rate, you can essentially use the Berger 156 gr. EOL and still have twist to use up. I have used Hodgdon Hybrid 100V with this combination and the furthest reaches went out to 650 yards with the 1,000 ft/lb limit. This is one of the very few EOL bullets which proved to be consistently accurate in these shorter barrels.
I did try the 123 AMAX for a short while but went on with the 130 class bullets for best accuracy and performance.
Buy, load and shoot to test for the results you are looking for.
Enjoy the process!
About 2,400 fps.156 bergers wouldn't be going very fast out of a 16" barrel.
I mean it's always worth a try anyways. I have some for my PRCAbout 2,400 fps.
You didn't specify high velocity...
Now that's just awesome, never thought it would do that at distanceI built a similar rifle for my son, it has always loved the PRVI 120 BTHP. But the 140 Hornady BTHP's have also done very well. He's taken half a dozen deer and one elk with it.
