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.
Fantastic. Much luck on game with that weight projectile?
Don't see why not. A 243 will bowl anything over so it should be pretty good.Quote:

They may be a little soft at 260 velocities as their intended cartridge is the smaller ones like the Grendel.Quote:

Probably, but depends on how far ya wanna shoot I guess, and if your barrel will stabilize the 140s

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.
Smoked a couple of goats with mine outa a swede. They made a pretty big hole. Goats were pretty dead after.
Did you ever have a crack with the ones I sent you GWH?
Yeah just a ladder test, then the rifles been parked up while I've been playing with the m595 284win.
I'll get back onto it soon.

a mate of mine shoots big bull thar with them poked out of a .204 ruger case....bang flops and no issues. guess he can place his shots.
The velocity or more appropriately lack of it helps immensely with soft projectiles.Quote:

I have 123g Amax to try in my 6.5x.284 build, but the main projectiles for me to try are the Sierra 123g & 142g HPBT.... hopefully a 142g will be knocking down a Sika this weekend.
The BC and so on between the Amax and Sierra 123g is nothing, so hoping no deformation on the nose when doing 3k...
