[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2415961, member: 66917"] In my 7mm LRM the ABLR never shot satisfactory. I shot 15 different powder charge seating depth combos and found 1 that shot .7 in at 100 yards. This in a rifle that shoots the Berger 180 VLD and 195 EOL under 1/2 MOA. But it was in 2016 so maybe the bullet is different now. So, with the accuracy of the Bergers I could not justify the ABLR in my use case. They rifle was primarily built for that 500–1000-yard region on Coues deer so I needed more accuracy. One thing I learned later while trying the ABLR in my 6.5 PRC was they sometimes like to be way off the lands. In my 6.5 PRC they shot the best at 100 thou off, again around .6-.7 MOA. In the 6.5 version they still couldn't touch the 156 Bergers so by passed them again. The Bergers have been good to me on game. So far they have accounted for 4 Coues bucks at 743, 448, 460, and 340 yards. Then 18 head of African game including an Eland. So I haven't missed the ABLR. I might give the new 150 a try in my 6.5 just to be fair. [/QUOTE]
