Does anyone have the max load for this bullet with H4350 from the meewest Hornady loading manual.

Thanks,

Hodgdon says 44.3 for a 125 grain.

Yes, thanks. I saw that data on their site. However, I believe in my gun, the amax bullet needs to be seated somewhat deeper than the Sierra's so I was just looking for bullet specific data.

I believe the Hodgdon data is based on a Nosler Partition 125. Due to the partition they tend to be long bullets. In any case, I find that if you check 3-4 different sources of load data, usually none will match, and there easily can be 2 or more grains difference between sources. This tells me that they are only a rough guide, and you have to work up the loads in your individual gun, and just be aware of where you might start seeing pressure issues.
