Re: WTK: 123gr AMAX 6.5mm bullet
I got a bunch from Graf's and tried them out in my Stiller/Bartlein 6.5x47L. 4-5shot groups at 100yds averaged .395.
That was using 2 with R15 and 2 with R17. Also shot at 465yds and got a 1.71" grp with R17. R15 gave me 2.2", although I only shot one group each. Compared to the 123Lapua's I usually shoot, these are very close, too close to call. I did notice I needed an extra 1/4 in elevation at 465yds for the A-max. For out to 600yds I think they would be an excellent less expensive alternative for the Lapua's. At 1K I probably stick to the Lapua's because of the ballistic advantage.
