[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2716485, member: 105681"] The ABLR is a fantastic bullet. The trouble I have had is getting them to shoot consistently out of various rifles. The 168 shoots lights out in my Browning 7 mag but only so-so out of my 280 AI. Oddly, the 150 grainer from the factory loaded Nosler ammo will shoot 0.5 moa groups out of the same 280 AI. Better than I can create with handloads despite copycatting COAL, powder charge and Fed Match primers. No biggie though the 175 Elite Hunter shoots dimes out of my 280 AI at 2930 fps so it's been a great elk killer for me. The bonded ABLR has been really consistent when I have used them on game animals, no blow ups or crazy shallow penetration. They have worked just like your pictures with a nice mushroom and beautiful wound channel. All one shot kills on 9 animals from 110 to 788 yds. I'm in California so I shoot copper but we do keep 3 rifles set up just for out of State with the ABLR's. My advice is to not push them super hard. Keep them under 3000 fps and they shoot well. Rev it up and they start to fly all over the page. [/QUOTE]
