[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2080140, member: 104363"] I didn't have any luck with the ABLR, either weight. You could shoot everything in the 168 class, 175 would be on a case by case basis, on how these react to slower muzzle velocity, with a good twist. Don't know what bear or size your targeting, but you'll want a bullet to break heavy bone and punch through. Maybe A-Frame, Partition, Nosler AB, or mono bullets 145gr and above. My 8.5 twist didn't shoot the 178 gr Barnes at all (under stabilized), so consider that. If it were me, I'd look at Partition, Barnes, and Hammer bullets. If you have a SAAMI length chamber you may struggle seating them out to preserve case capacity as bullet length goes up. [/QUOTE]
