[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 857627, member: 11717"] Here's my advise for Nosler. Start by thinking out of the box. These ABLR's are nothing more than Amax bullets with a little thicker base. They are a cross between a varmint bullet and the traditional so-called controlled expansion bonded bullets, only the expansion isn't very controlled at High velocities... and guess what Nosler.... Long Range shooters shoot high velocity cartridges. Nosler, if you are reading. You have an outstanding controlled expansion bullet in the Partition. Take the Partition and make it a VLD long range bullet. Design the tip and nose for the expansion velocity you can that will still hold up to extreme velocities produced by LONG RANGE rifles. If the nose comes apart during high velocity contact, that's OK, as long as a majority of the bullet remains in tact. Blunt frontals cause a lot of damage. Your ABLR's are already coming apart big time leaving very little of the bullet intact. Aslo, try making bullets for tighter twist rates. I will not shoot a bullet that stabilizes in an 11 twist when I can shoot a heavier, higher BC one that stabilizes in a 10 twist. I will pick a 230 Berger Hybrid before a 210 whatever. [/QUOTE]
