The 123 AM is one of the first slugs I'm gonna run down the tube when I get a .260 together.

They made two so far but I'll let you know.




Keep us in the loop as to when they begin to open up. I have a liking to get 9-10 loadings per case. Seems to me that most of the loads that are the toasty side the primer pockets begin to go early around 3 or 4 times. And this is just my wife and I'm not really up for defending my ways but if the load won't go 7 or more times then I'm leaning on it too darn hard.

Hornady gives 3000fps out of a 24" barrel. Haven't seen the pressure for that load but most loads that I see listed with PSI ratings are running 58-59,000PSI. I'm thinking 3000 with this powder will give you your case life.
