[QUOTE="Divcap, post: 886384, member: 74411"] I have been following this discussion and feel obligated to share my experience with the LRABs. First off, I am shooting the 210 LRAB which is supposed to have a BC of .730 out of a 300 Win Mag. When I did the load development for this round, I had a lot of trouble getting the velocity I wanted and ended up settling for avg. of 2758. I would have liked to push them faster but had a hard time getting good groups. I did test it out to 1500yds and found that the BC that Nosler is advertising is correct. Unfortunately, I did not have much time to try very many different load configurations due to the fact that I finished building my rifle two weeks before the season started. The load I finished with is 70.3 grains of 4831sc loaded to 3.600OAL. I think the rifle will shoot better but with this load it is right at 1/2MOA. We ended up killing 4 elk with this configuration this year and my experience has been flawless. The first was a bull at 280yards. The elk was perfectly broadside and he hit him low behind the shoulder. The elk went down like a ton of bricks and never moved. I was a little bit concerned as there was no exit but it did the job. The second was a bull at 560. The elk was quartering towards us and he hit him just in front of the right shoulder and broke the offside shoulder. The elk took two jumps and faceplanted. Again, there was no exit. The third was a cow at 308yds. The elk was broadside and my wife double lunged her. She went down in her tracks and again there was no exit. The last one was a cow that I shot at 403yds. She was broadside and I hit her behind the shoulder and she spun a circle and went down. Again, no exit. My conclusion is that the round does a great job of releasing all of its energy apon impact but I am a little concerned about what would happen if an animal was hit in the shoulder. I am hoping to get a chance to see how they perform at some distance after they loose some energy. [/QUOTE]
