[QUOTE="BCC72, post: 2782346, member: 125695"] I use the 168 ABLR’s in my 7mag and the 129gr and 142gr in my 6.5-284 Norma. The ABLR was designed to expand down to 1600fps rather than the usual 1800fps of most bullets, hence ‘LR’. Shots on WT, Antelope, MD and Elk have all been successful with proper bullet performance. All shots with this bullet I have made further than 350yds out to just inside 500. Further on coyotes but not big game. North central Montana is where I use these loads. 168gr going 2935 with RL19, 129gr going 2950 with RL19 and 142gr going 2795 with IMR4831. Where I live in Western MT I load 160gr Partitions for my 280AI as shots are often a lot closer. Right around 2900fps. I don’t like explosive bullets and have had terrible results with Berger’s (hunting) so leave them for F-class loads in my 284Shehane. The ABLR will perform. Hydraulic performance results will differ often with bullets, just like how a plugged hollow point won’t expand or if a bullet hasn’t stabilized yet and is still yawing. [/QUOTE]
