[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 857471, member: 13833"] I previously shot the std. AB and they are a useful bullet. I started making my own about 7 years ago because the AB's would not perform at the distance I was using them. I was shooting a 30" barreled 300 RUM with the 200 AB (muzle velocity 3350'). I shot an elk at 1025 yards and all it did was blow the tip off the bullet and flatten the lead just a little. The bullet was still .308" diameter, but just a little shorter with most of the ogive intact. I have killed several with my own since then and have improved the design a little each year. All of them work far better than the AB "at this range"! When I shoot one up close, I just make sure they are shot in the ribcage. They do a bang/flop at close range but suffer some serious entry damage! I do make a double jacket version that performs much better up close with little difference in long range performance, although you do lose just a little b.c. and a little accuracy. They shoot to the same poi out to probably 600-700 yards, or at least close enough for that range. A good method is to use those closer up but sight in for long range with the others.......Rich [/QUOTE]
