How have these been grouping for folks, I have a bunch loaded up for range day but havent been out yet, hows the accuracy and consistency been?? Hoping these long range bullets work out.
 
I could never get them to work for me, gave up on the but the 210 ABLRs worked great for me pushed by H1000
 
Tried them in a 30-06 and 300 Winmag.

Gave me fits with both.

Different powders with both. Seating depth changes. One day it was tight groups the next it was unpredictable.

I think I read in another post a bit back that they had inconsistent bearing surface ogive junction... maybe it was another. Either way I gave up on them.

Loved the idea of it in a 30-06 for the lower expansion velocity.
 
Thanks for asking this question. I was trying to get the 190 gr ABLR to work in my 300 Win Mag and was having inconsistent results. Hunting season was coming up so I decided to use the 200 gr AB this year.

I've called Nosler tech support. I've received excellent customer service. These bullets have to be loaded a precise way for best results.

The reality is regular Accubonds will shoot a very far distance.

So what is the PERCISE way that they have to be loaded. I have a box setting on the shelf that I don't think I have opened yet. Might check these out in a 300WM.
 
My son is currently shooting the ABLR 190's in his 300WM. Accuracy is pretty good, 5/8" at 100 yds. This past weekend the shot a Bull Elk CLOSE like 30 yds.. Great shoulder shot. Bullet NEVER exited ! Didn't even make it to the rib cage on the off side !! Terrible terminal performance for a bullet that heavy, at close range. Should have been a soft ball size hole in the off shoulder.

Did the bullet break apart?
