Has anyone had good accuracy loading these?
If so what weight and velocity?

I thinking about trying 7mm 150gr ABLR in a 7WSM 8.7 twist. Probably be able to push these to 3200 fps or so.
I've heard bad experiences, just wondering if anyone had good things to say at all.
Thanks.
 
I've been running the 168ABLR in my 280AI since they came out, killed two elk so far with them no complaints here.
 
Have a good load with the 190 gr in 308 Win. 47 gr H4350 gets me 2530 fps. Loaded about 2.83" coal to fit the Ruger mag.
 
I tried with no luck to get the ABLR 150s and 168s to shoot in my 7mm rem mag. M700 w/ Krieger 9.5 twist 26" bbl. The regular AB 160s shoot great, so I stayed with them.
 
I have had good luck with the 150 grainer in my 280 Rem. They are very accurate at 100 yds and I shot a small deer at 105 that never took a steep. I never recovered the bullet.
 
I've had good luck on paper with them in 270 win, 60.5gr of imr 7977, norma brass, with a 210gm primer seated about .020 off the lands.

Groups around .5" @ 100 yards, and shot around a little over a 1.5" 300. haven't had a chance to take them out very far, but load developed has a very small ES and SD when measured with a lab radar.
 
I am shooting under 1/2 moa with 168 gr ABLR.

I tried to get the 190 gr ABLR to work in a 300 Win Mag, but ended up going back to a 200 gr Accubond

I coudn't get the 190 anf H1000 to shoot well in my 300 win. Just didn't seem to like that bullet. Went back to the 175 LRX. It likes it best.
 
Running the 142 gr ABLR in two rifles - 6.5x55 and 264 WM. Getting very good accuracy and good down-range results. Running them at 2800 in the 6.5x55 and 3200 in the 264.
