We'll see.... she'll shoot 123 Scenars at the SRM this weekend, cause there isn't much time to get ready, and I know the Scenar load shoots sub-MOA to 600 outta a half dozen CTR .260s. When I get a chance, I'll let the rifle decide. She has a local buck Mule deer tag for 2nd season (she's never killed a deer, so she's pretty excited).... 140 Amax is the way I'm leaning. But if she runs hers the way she shoots the other CTR, I'd turn her lose inside 450 with just about any 120+ grain 6.5 bullet.
As a note on the 123 Amax vs. Scenar thing..... I think the Scenar is more consistently accurate across a broad range of variables like brass, COAL/BTO, powder, velocity, etc. I tend to shoot a lot more of the Amax, but only because they're 60% of the cost, and 95% of the accuracy. I shoot them both interchangeably... and the dope is only a click different at 600. Plus.... they do bad ugly things to vermin... and it ain't much fun, if goo don't get flung.
