[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1164777, member: 63138"] Threejs After looking over the terminal performance of ABLR bullets I concluded that Nosler had done exactly what they said - made a really good long range bullet. It is my opinion that they are too soft for general purpose hunting as they really do expand down at 1,300 fps. So... I loaded up some 7mm 150 ABLRs for a friends 13 year old daughter in a low recoil 7mm-08 load running 2,000 fps at the muzzle. She knocked over a nice whitetail doe with that load this past fall. If I recall, the doe went about 20 yards and fell over dead so the bullet did what it was supposed to do - expand and relatively low velocity. I would hesitate to use them unless you really mean it when you say "long range". I'd much rather use the new 175 gr Hornady ELD-X in a 7mm RM. [/QUOTE]
