I'm sorry to hear about your arm, but it seems to me that it isn't stopping you from getting on target, HOO-RAH! I believe I read that the 123 amax's B.C. was .510 with a drop of 38 feet at 1000yards with MV of 2500fps was what you experienced. Take a look at the 108 Lapua Scenars, B.C. of .478 . I have had only about 22 feet of drop with a 300 yard zero to 1000 yards and similar wind drift. I can get those bullets to around 2800 fps no problem. Might be worth taking a look at for those 1000 yard comps. Anywho, it sounds like you had a blast. Great write up.
Hi Chellie,
I've only shot the 108 Scenars with AA2460. I was only able to get about 2650 fps out of them with a 20 inch bbl. I haven't tried H322, though.
I got better energies with the 123 Scenars. It might be worth revisiting. Some other guys have been getting good MV's with the CFE 223 in the lighter bullets too.
The published BC's on the bullets seem very unreliable, or the ballistic calculators are, or a combination of both.
I've heard several guys on here state that the 108 may be the best for long range. I'll just have to try it out.
