I use 180 gr round nose with 10.0 of trail boss and hornady brass just start higher without the supressor on when testing about 1050 to 1080 is a good range for subs.

The 12tw may or may not stabilize for the OP, definitely worth a try.

If it doesn't, then here's a load that works great for a friend with a 12tw, I'd suggest starting 1.0gr higher and working DOWN in 0.2gr increments

9.5gr Trailboss
150gr Winchester Spire Point
OAL @ 2.700" OAL

I ment to say that 180 rn load is for a 1 in 12 I use it in my sps varmint barrel.

another vote for the 180 RN... works well in my 1:11.25 gas gun and 1:12 bolt.

Go with the 180 round nose and trail boss, worked really well for me out of my 1:12 20" barrel.

Hornady makes a 180 round nose i couldnt find any so I got the 180 round nose Sierra's.
