Issue 3 Reloading data posted on AA web site.

[Smokepole50]

I drove by the RA gate today and met with Don to pick up some AA brass, a 6.5 Grendel Ammo gauge and a couple boxes of ammo. Don suggested I give Melissa a call about the Issue #3 reloading data so I called and Steven answered, a few minutes later he was posting the new reloading data on the web site. So, now there is a posted 2520 load for the 129SST and I think a few other bullets. I know, some of you already had this info but I did not so I am happy. Thanks, Steven and Don.

Wish I had this last week...oh well. Still below max with my Barnes TSXs.

I don't know why but I am having trouble finding the new data on the AA site, maybe its my phone? Could someone post the link? Thanks.

Why the heck don't they list a load for the 123g AMAX????

Bronco, there are hundreds of loads for the AMAX listed here on the site. Tell us what powder you want to use, and lots of people will give you starting points.

Hornady lists loads for the AMAX, as do several powder manufacturers on their web sites.

How about BL-(C)2?...I have 1 lb that needs loading and 100 A-Max bullets that need to go downrange. Would the 123 Scenar data be close enough?

[bwaites]

I shot lots of BLC2 back before TAC and 8208 became my favorites. 31 grain under a 100 grain Ballistic Tip gave incredibly good accuracy and decent, though not super high, velocity.

Be careful with the AMAX 100's and seat them short, thats a funky bullet shape and if you get close to mag length you'll be touching the lands. About 2.12 to 2.15 seems to work in most rifles.

I wasn't very clear...I have quantity 100 of 123 grn A-Max. How much BL-(C)2 for 123 A-Max?

That was out of a 14.5" barrel. Hornady needs to do some more data for the next edition or online with a 20" barrel.

@Michael - Thanks for the info!
