[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 900666, member: 11717"] The ABLR's and Bergers are very different bullets. The ABLR's are advertised to open at 1300 FPS, the Bergers are advertised to open at 1800 fps. The ABLR's have a tipped point and the Bergers have a HP. The Bergers penetrate 2-3" before expansion and the ABLR's start expanding immediately. With either the Berger or ABLR, you risk a blow up with extremely high velocities, more so with the ABLR's. When the ABLR's first came out I suspected there might be problems with higher velocity impacts due to the fact they were designed to expand at such low velocities. Suspicions seem to be confirmed. IMO, Nosler needs to design a more aggressive tapper in their jackets to try to keep these bullets together at higher velocities. Better yet, design a LR Partition with plastic tip. You just gotta wonder what they were thinking? :rolleyes: And, you just gotta wonder what a 129 ABLR is going to do when it impacts @ 3300 fps? [/QUOTE]
