6.5Jap

I have a bet with my buddies that I cant get this thing to shoot. They say I have to use 8208XBR powder and Nosler 120 gr.BT bullets.I have to get it under 1" @100 yd.using 5 shot strings. No other restrictions.Any suggestions?Need loads...help!!
 
The 6.5 Jap has a fast twist barrel and the original loading was a 162 gr. bullet, later changed to 139gr. The 123gr. might be too light, I would try a 140 gr match bullet and a medium speed powder, Varget or 4895.
