[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1669001, member: 35101"] I just returned back from Zimbabwe where I used my handloaded 175gr ABLR's for my 7mm Rem Mag. MV is 2,850fps. I shot 7 Baboons but all of the bullets fully penetrated the animals. All dropped to the shot. One Zebra was a broadside pass-through, behind the shoulder, both lung, one shot kill, with quarter-sized exit. Ran approx 100 yds. 180 or so yards. Zebra #2 pictured below was struck slightly quartering on. Bullet broke the shoulder bone, penetrated both lungs, and was recovered under the skin on the far side. Range was 150 yrs and animal dropped after 80 yard run. Impala#1 was shot at 50 yds broadside behind shoulder crease and exited with nickle sized wound. Fell over dead. Impala#2 shot at 50 yrds quartering away, bullet entered flank, penetrated and broke far shoulder, and was recovered under skin. Made 50 yds before falling over. I have to say that I am very happy with the ABLR performance...especially on the second Zebra where the shoulder bone was broken and the bullet still penetrated body cavity and both lungs of an 800lb animal. In all cases, impact velocity was still pretty high at around 2,800 for Impala and 2,700 ish for Zebra. Bullets look pretty much like they do in the Nosler ads. I'm very happy with the performance of these bullets. [/QUOTE]
