Max Magnification

I saw a tutorial stating (generally) the maximum magnification of a scope was twice the aperture in mm... so a 130mm aperture would be a max of 260x.

Then I also heard that with amateur scopes, because of the atmosphere, there's a maximum practical magnification of around 250x.

Is this all hogwash?
