[QUOTE="JTB, post: 2028476, member: 97196"] There will always be instances of component failure under the right conditions but we have taken several deer and elk with the 142 ABLR and had nothing but outstanding results. It may be the overall most lethal LR 6.5 pill I have witnessed over the past few years. I have heard of excessive damage at closer ranges but for reaching out past 350 yards or so they have been highly reliable for me (closest shot we have taken with the 143 was 220 yards and it worked perfectly. I have also had great performance from the 156 Berger and 143 ELD-X. These three are my current preferences for true long range hunting but this year we loaded the 156s because the combination of high BC, reliable accuracy and easy load development has been hard to ignore. We loaded the 156 in the Creedmoors last year and had impressed results with deer and elk so this hunting season I loaded the CMs and PRCs using the 156 EOL. For closer shots I would look at the regular Accubonds, partitions, or monos if you prefer copper. Obviously there are many good options I have not mentioned but these are what I am most confident with today in 6.5 at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
