[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 289148, member: 1403"] Since your not a NBT fan, I would look real hard at the 160g AB. I've also done some tinkering with them from my 7 mag but have yet to shoot anything with them. My rifle does .5" at 100 yards with 61g RL-22 and the 160g AB at 2900fps. The 160g AB would be tough to beat for an all around bullet IMO. It will work on deer and elk, both near and far, shoulder, behind the shoulder. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot at any deer or elk that walks out to 800 yards with a good 160g AB load. I myself just dont care for bonded bullets all that much. I think there more hype then anything and I dont think the animals have gotten any tougher over the years. The only AB I used faithfully for hunting was the 200g AB from my 300 RUM, which was a HAMMER on anything it hit. It left baseball size holes through the shoulders of a few elk and deer. You'll probly get all sorts of responses sooner or later but more then likey a lot of guys will tell you the AB is a very good bullet and will do everything you want. There will also be a lot of guys that will tell you the 168g vld is a very good bullet and will do everything you want. The only way to know for yourself is to shoot a couple animals with them and find out how they work for YOU. [/QUOTE]
