[QUOTE="chuck williams, post: 402702"] the 123 a-max was 53moa and the 123 scenar was 48moa i think the adjustments on my scope are more course than the supposed 1/4" i have not verified this though. i am not sure what my buddy had for elevation but it was far flatter than the a-max. he was shooting the 300gr sierra mk at 2800fps. i remember his windage was 11moa and mine was 30 with the a-max and mid 20's with the scenar. i came up with the cartridge by running my 6.5x47 reamer in far enough to headspace on a properly sized piece of 7mm-08 brass. the capacity is close to a .260 but is has the 30 degree shoulder of the lapua and less body taper. i wanted the 6.5x47 but couldnt stand the thought of being married to HIGH DOLLAR lapua brass. i think the .260AI will shoot just as well, use readily available brass and be easier to form than this wildcat. it will also push the 140gr high bc bullets faster. maybe wade will chime in when he sees this and refresh my memory on his elevation for the shot. chuck [/QUOTE]
