Anyone know of 123g AMAX's in stock???

Hoot,

The 120 was the original 6.5 offering, and is a bit of less aerodynamic, similar to the 120 Sierra MK. It could not be loaded to mag length in most Grendels without being in the lands because of that rounder nose. Like the Sierra, it was forgiving, and jumped the leade well, but the BC was a little less than optimal, and took up a little more powder space.

The 123 was developed specifically for the Grendel once Hornady decided to load the round. Its BC was developed for longer range shooting. Sierra did the same thing with their 120 and 123 MK's, though I don't think it was with the Grendel specifically in mind.

Thanks for the education Bill. Is there a detail rich, historical accounting of the Grendel out there for the reading? I mean, not just a 1-2 page magazine intro article, but one that tracks the design and evolution side of the firearm as well as the ammunition side?

Thanks,

Hoot
