[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1825265, member: 26227"] I do not have any experience with the Long range version of the nosler AB. I do have many years experience with the AB and the VLD hunters from Berger. I am not sure where western hunter's experience with Berger went so wrong but I have used Berger 277, 308, and 338 diameter slugs in the VLD hunter and target lines for a while now without any problems. Actually the hunters worked stellar and the targets performed well in matches and on the hunting field. the Nosler AB's on the other hand were my go to target slug when Sierra's M/K was as inconsistent as they got for several years. I have also used the AB on Elk and Deer. I have used their 257 diameter on goats (prong horn) in Nevada. I like them both (Nosler and Berger). I have a client that is using the ABLR in his 7MM RUM with excellent results in accuracy. He's blowing the crap out of 1 gallon jugs at 600 to 900 yards at this time. He has not tried Berger yet either. His gun does not like Barnes; something I thought it would. Most of my guns like all three brands of slugs (Berger, Barnes, Nosler). what my current crop of guns do not like are Sierra lead tips, Hornady exposed lead tips and Speer lead tips. I do not know how I got so many guns that hate lead tips is beyond me. I shave the exposed lead off and they are great in my guns. (insert a totally bewildered face here) it's the oddest thing I have ever seen. the one exception is my 1894&1895 big bore lever marlins. they love the hornady or any other soft point 265 grain slug and hard case 290 grain semi wad-cutters.
