[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1896767, member: 112648"] Ok so I've been on a quest this year to find the ultimate med to long range deer and elk bullet, after having some pretty bad failures with a variety of non bonded target style bullets. Not starting another bullet debate here but I asked about the ABLR's a while back and many members were claiming they are extremely explosive, more so than the target bullets that I'm moving away from. So I'm starting a thread for people to post their results with any of the ABLR's. Here's my results so far with the 142's. I loaded a few last night for my ultralight 6.5 SAUM at 2.940 oal with 60.5 grains of H1000. Mv was 3200, shot a 1.3" 200 yard group right off the bat. I did an expansion test with 4 metal paint gallon jugs filled with water at 200 yards. The results are looking awesome! It blew through the first 3 and I recovered it from the 4th, perfect mushroom with the bonded core totally intact. I'll weigh it later. Going bear hunting this weekend, hopefully I'll have some live results. Here's a few pics of the bullet and the carnage on the first 2 jugs.
