[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 965507, member: 4191"] I've got 2 boxes of 175 gr for my 7mm Rem Mag. Sorry - I haven't shot one yet. If they shoot accurately, my plan is to use them solely for shots past 500 yds. Everything I've read about them indicates they will positively expand at low impact velocity, which is the critical trait for use at longer range (reduced impact velocity). They do have to be accurate to be useful at long range. I load and use controlled expansion bullets in the magazine for close shots. Then remove those rounds and load single shot style for long range. This is method I'm completely content with, and it instantly solves the problem of trying to find one bullet that will perform under both extremes. So I don't mind a long range bullet that blows apart at high impact velocity, provided it's accurate and it expands at 1500 fps impact velocity. According to what I've read, the LRAB bullets expand down to ~1300 fps. So now they just need to be accurate in my rifles. [/QUOTE]
