[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1412220, member: 88320"] I have had good luck with -LRABs thus far. The bonded core has held together at close range shots, plus good fragmenting in front half of bullets. It’s hard to find a bullet that will hold up at high speeds close range and still expand reliably at 800 plus yards. I think you can find failures in all of the new designed “ long range” bullets. Shot an elk at 500 with Berger 140 vlds bullet performed great I shot an elk at 500 yards with old ABs 200 gr out of 8mm-338. It hardly opened but killed the elk just fine. I also shot a mule deer at 300 yards with 250 gr AB out of 338 RUM and it exploded on spine, no exit and just found fragments, dead deer Had a guy shoot an Oryx with EDLX, 2 didn’t expand(hit ribs)and another exploded on contact no penetration(shoulder)In same shooting sequence. Most have performed great but here’s an instance where they didn’t. Point is you can find inconsistencies in all of them, don’t over analyze something simple. If it shoots good in your gun it will work [/QUOTE]
