MV for 123 SMK in .260?

Re: MV for 123 SMK in .260?

Barrel length?
Powder?

Gasser or bolt?
 
Re: MV for 123 SMK in .260?

Depending on chamber, how much powder, etc. 2950 is very reasonable and over 3000 fps is possible.

Will be working on a load for the 123's and H4350 this week. Will post up results.

Had good results with the 120's and 3030fps

24" CBI barrel
OAL 2.850" and .020 jump
Std. WLR primers
RP brass

With a 26" Criterion, Lapua or Nosler brass, WLR primers, and 123 A-Max @ 2.85" OAL I get a consistent 2930fps with 39.3gr Varget, 3000fps with 48.0gr H4831SC, and 3030fps with 44.0gr RL-17.
 
Re: MV for 123 SMK in .260?

Just did a test run on the 123 AMAX today.

about 3025fps with and ES around 30

WLR primer, RP case, 45.0 H4350

Thinking of running them in Lapua cases with F210M primer to get the ES below 20

I think it has good potential so far. Ran them out to 515 and 860yds and it was right on.
