Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
I would try H4350 or H 4831sc. I always try to get the case full of powder. The RL powders will work also. I just have more of the other and it seems to work for me.

H4350 with a 123gr scenar, I've gotten 3000fps with two different rifles. 24" Rock 5R 1-9" and a 26" Schneider 1-8.5".
Work up slow. 123's seem to be "jump friendly" in both rifles.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
Same with the H4350. The powder works great with the 123s.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
I run 123's with RL-15 and found an accuracy node at 2940 fps. My rifle has about 3K down the tube and is still stupidly accurate.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
yes, I shoot them out to 1100 yards. They perform good.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
With the 123 A-Max in my rifle (26" Criterion), 39.3gr Varget gives me 2930fps and 48.0gr H4831SC 3000fps in a compressed load.
Both loads in my rifle are good for at least 5 shots in 0.5" @ 100yd.
H4350 can probably give you the same speed as 4831SC with a few less grains powder.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
cant wait to get loading got some 123's and 139's lots of brass and primers and a pound of 4350 and 4831SC I don't think it will hit the steel like this but still should hit it good!

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
123 SMK's here. H4350. I can get to 3,100 fps without pressure signs, but am running at 3050 fps to be safe on hot days.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
I used to shoot F-Class matches (600 & 1000) 04-06 and it did well. Shot at Thunder Valley this summer it took 24 MOA for 1K. It was about 95 degrees that day. My ballistic program said they were actually running 3050 fps.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
Haven't tried the 123 Scenars, but have no problem getting 3000+ with 120gr Ballistic tips and 45gr H4350 from my 24" Brux barrel. Accuracy is good too.

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
we have been shooting 49 grs H1000 at 2900 fps,,it shoots sub 1 inch groups at 300 yards and tracks very well to 1,000,,
pretty mild load that doesnt heat up rifle too fast and shoots lights out,,from 100 zero it takes around 25-26 MOA to make 1,000

Re: 260 rem 123 Scenar
Is any one using Lapua 260 rem brass?
Im looking at shooting the 123 Scenars using the following
H4350 powder
CCIBR2 primers
Lapua 260 rem brass
123 Scenar heads
Rifle is an AI AX260 26" barrel
what powder charge weight would you guys recommend me starting at & what fps should I aim for?
