[QUOTE="loonie, post: 1710837, member: 59678"] I had heard rumors of the Nosler LRAB blowing up too so I recently did a wet newspaper test with them and Bergers. With about 20 inches of newspaper tied together the 175 lrab went all the way thru it. Berger 175 EH blew up only getting in about 12 inches with only fragments of jacket left, from a 7 Saum running them @ 3000 fps. At 400 yd with 180 vld it had 65 grains left and the lrab had 73 gr left and a lot more penetration. At 600 the lrab had 127 grains left and good penetration with a nice mushroomed bullet. I'm going to try them at 1000 yd next time and see how they expand at 2000 fps. Hope to get some gel made, but if not do the wet paper again. Like what I see with them so far! Lonnie [/QUOTE]
