The problem is a bunch of problems grouped together. One is mean projectile speed. Normal assumptions is that it takes 100,000 to make it to any object with any type of consistency. That puts max effective at 1150 for the 108 and 1195 for the 123. The next one is that the 108 has a fairly vld ogive where the 123 has a more conventional ogive which moves more weight away from the bullet centerline, that normally would mean that it would not transition as consistently as the 108. We have seen 5 hits on a silhouette at 1450 with the 108's. The 123's are fantastic in a caliber able to push them fast enough to maintain the MPS above 100,000.
If it were my money (and it is), I only shoot the 108's due to above listed problems. I have not listed all the problems or solutions that the 108 encounters that the 123 does not accomplish. On top of all of them is the fact that the 108's are flatter shooting. The only thing that the 123 does better than the 108 is downrange energy.
