[QUOTE="longrangedude, post: 1097740, member: 91150"] I have purchased a few hundred of the Nosler 142 ABLR's in 6.5 MM for potential go-to use in my .260 Rem, and have made significant progress working up loads for the same. I have been using the excellent 140 Berger Hybrid VLD's with good success but am looking to improve bullet-to-bullet BC consistency due to the uniform poly tip of the new Nosler ABLR's over the variable metplat of the Berger's, as well as the more forgiving ogive of the Nosler's for seating issues. Initial load testing has these bullets grouping very well using Norma MRP - same powder I've been using for my Berger 140 Hybrid load. Now it's time to do BC testing and I'd love to get any updates from anyone on this thread as to what you're seeing in real-world results. I have a 1:8 twist barrel which should be plenty fast to stabilize these bullets, and am sending them downrange at roughly 2855 FPS. Thanks in advance for your help here. I'll post what I find when I can hit a range with sufficient yardage to verify BC. [/QUOTE]
