  • Can anyone tell me what the Hornady book lists as the max charge of H4350 with 123 amax in 6.5cm? I have 26#, so I am not afraid to play around it. I ran up to 44.8 (hogdon max) and things were a little flat on primers and a hint of swipe. Just curious what the book says. Thx in advance.
     
    Per hornady 8th edition

    2700 @ 40.7
    2750 @ 41.5
    2800 @ 42.3
    2850 @ 43.1
    2900 @ 43.9 max

    Per Hodgdon for the 123 SMK:

    123 GR. SIE HPBT Hodgdon H4350 2.670"
    Min- 40.0 2680 45,500 PSI
    Max- 44.8 2951 59,700 PSI

    The original 120 AMAX load was 44.5 grns of H4350
     
    43.8gns seemed to shoot the best with mine. 0.099" @ 100yds. I have a pic, will have to download it and post it. Regardless, the load ran to 500yds with projected dope being dead-on for 2940fps from Shooter app. Will run it out further in the near future, but based on this data, it should be about 8.4mils to 1K w/ 574#@1449fps.
