Looks like you've got it under control!
The mag 12 posted is based on some assumptions, mainly perfect seeing, visibility and no light pollution and really applies mainly to stars. DSOs are spead out so a mag 12 galaxy is a lot harder to see than a mag 12 star as its surface brightness is a lot lower.
I can get mag 14 stars on a good noght in my 12" but have never seen a a galaxy fainter than mag 12.
Keep trying though, there are still 100s of objects that you should be able to get if your LP is not too bad.
Have you tried for NGC 253, one of the easier galaxies to find and very bright, I can easily get it in 10x50 binos or in my finder most nights!
