[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1058513, member: 17593"] KIMBA, I wouldn't think you can safely run the 123s to 2600 in an AR. Be very careful and slowly work up. With the adj. gas block, yeah you may do it. But be very careful! When I got to 2500 I was seeing pressure signs. Temp. rise can make a safe load not so safe,too. You may find 2300 to 2400 to be optimal speeds. I am like you in wanting more speed; if Hornady can get 2500 so should I kinda mentality. I found accuracy fell off when speed went up. Just do the right thing and slowly work up ! It's a great cartridge and works fine at 2300 to 2400 with the 123s. Oh, and my rifle loves the factory AMax but the factory SSTs are just a tad slower and not quite as accurate. But they will get the job done! [/QUOTE]
