[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 909101, member: 11717"] The ABLR 210's are almost identical to the 208 AMax and 210 VLD in size and shape, and not surprisingly, they were tested by members here to have almost identical BC's as those bullets. Higher velocity may slightly increase G1 BC but it will not affect G7 BC. Bottom line is, they are no where near as advertised which is the same or better than a 215 Hybrid. They are not even close to a 215 Hybrid. As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... well you know the rest. The 7mm 175's on the other hand are very close to the 180 VLD's i9n size and shape and have been tested by members to have a very similar BC, not surprisingly. As for terminal ballistics, so far, the limited reported results seem to indicate that at short ranges the ABLR's tend to be explosive and lack penetration. Not surprising for a tipped bullet that advertises a minimum opening velocity of 1300 fps. I think the 308 210's would make a good 30-06 class bullet as the lower end performance velocity would help extend that cartridges max effective range. I personally would not use it in a larger cartridge if I thought a close shot was possible. Maybe you could test some on some hogs. That would be very interesting, especially at higher velocities. I would never consider them in a RUM for more valued game animals. [/QUOTE]
