I noticed a day or so ago that the 100 grain A-Max on midway had been "coming soon" for a while now but now they are available, i was just wondering if anyone has any experience with them, if anyone has, do you mind sharing load data?

It would certainly be an effective varmint round.
I am going to pull the tip out of a 123AMAX and see if I can lighten it up a little, maybe give it a spin test tooNRA life, GOA life, SAF, and TSRA

Range report.
I was able to shoot some test groups this weekend. They did OK but not great for me. First off, I had to seat them to 2.150 just to get them off the lands. I don't think this was necessarily a major problem but my 100 NBT's loads are seated at 2.260. The reduced case capacity caused pressure signs to show at a lower charge relative to the Noslers.
Of the 6 sets I shot, the best group was about .9 MOA and the worst was 1.6. None of the sets really seemed to "settle in" like I like to see.
Powder- 8208
Brass- fireformed IMI 7.62
Primer- Rem 9 1/2
28.5 grains= 2756 fps
29 grains= 2774 fps but started to show pressure- this is my load for Noslers & I get 2819 fps.
I could push them a little more with true Grendel brass but my intention was to make field loads using cheaper brass.
I have not decided if I will continue to use them after I shoot the 100 I bought. If I can get them to stay consistently sub MOA I will. Otherwise I will just stick with the Noslers even they are quite a bit more expensive ($36/100 vs $28/100).NRA life, GOA life, SAF, and TSRA
