    123sst 6.5 out of a .260

    As per title. Anyone tried or using them?
    Looking to capitalise on its .510 BC and shoot it out of a 20" sako.
    If I can get it running between 2800-2900 accurately I would be stoked.

    I have run the 123 Amax, basically the SST is an Amax with the canalure i believe. I could push them to nearing 3k from a 20" mod 7 with H414, they were hot tho. So you should easily achieve what you want.

    Don't see why not. A 243 will bowl anything over so it should be pretty good.

    They may be a little soft at 260 velocities as their intended cartridge is the smaller ones like the Grendel.
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    Ideal at longer range then i guess. Or for reduced recoil youth loads from 260?

    Would you think a slower runner 140 would be a better option?

    I've always reckoned that the first rule is that its SD plus adequate speed, that penetrates and kills. Not BC or any particular fancy bullet type. Those fancy arse things just build on the first rule.

    123 grn AMax has enough SD and speed to kill well. And I'm guess that they are no softer than their bigger brother.
