The 123gr A-max at 2532 fps from a 20" barrel using 28.1 grains of AA-2520 is quite fast. It would take ~1.5 grains more powder to reach that velocity from my 19.5" barrel.
Thanks Drifter,
I have a portable bench that I roll out of my garage to work on paper targets or steel to 200 yards. But the trees prohibit me from seeing the 300 and 400 yard targets from the driveway so I built the platform for the bed of my truck which is pictured in my driveway. It's an awesome setup and my reloading room is just a few footsteps away! Very convenient.
edited to add;
The Hornady manual shows much lower velocities but for some strange reason they used a 14.5" barrel! What's up with that? You can't even own a rifle with a barrel that short without a tax stamp & BATFE approval, can you?
