[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1540286, member: 104437"] While the ABLR is an accurate Bullet and great for 300- 400 + yard shots, I personally, would NOT want to use it at, "close range" (under, 200 yd's) as, Blood shot Meat, bone and Bullet fragments, could go, everywhere if, any bone, is hit ! There are many older accounts of this, in THIS Forum, to read. The ABLR is designed to expand at LOW Velocity, down to, 1,300 FPS ! The AccuBond, "regular" Bullet, is good, and "expands", at ranges, say out, to 700-800 yards or more, depending on Velocity started and Bullet chosen. Nosler says the .270 AB will still expand at, 1,800 FPS, not sure about the 7mm, tho. I shot my Bull at 70 yd's this year, with a 140 AB, in a .270 WSM, at 3,150 FPS and lost, very little Meat due to, fragments and Blood shot, meat ( less than, 2 Pounds of, meat, lost ) with, a behind the shoulder shot and "clipping" the Clavicle on the far side as my Elk was not, completely broadside. My son used the 150 grain 7mm, ELD-X to kill his Bull,.. that Bullet, worked fine, too ! [/QUOTE]
