sure have. Shot the 120's and 123's before I got onto the Scenars (and only went that way on price). Very accurate and great results in 2 * 6.5*284 and 2* 6.5*47. What case are you driving them with? Seemed to go well with a small jump.

Will be running in my 260 improved 30 degree wildcat this weekend with 120gr smk's and around 45/46gr 2209 in lapua cases. Hopefully thats stout enough to fireform the cases but still shoots well enough for a semi decent 300m score.

Mate shoots 120 and 123's out of his 6.5x47L. Both have shot well but I think he is steering towards the 123's now as nobody can seem to supply 130 bergers. The 120's really arent that flash ballistically. But are accurate enough if you can hold in the right spot. I shot a 90.7 15 shot with that gun and 120's (same one I borrowed for the WA queens)

Hornady also have the 123 Amax and the new 123 SST.
Both have a BC of .510
Haven't used them yet.

I use Lapua 123 Scenars myself, because they are most available and cheapest.

All the 123 gn bullets seem to be high in BC
