It’s an ideal hunting and long range design, theoretically.
Unlike Berger and Hornady it has a hard tail section for penetration, it appears.
Now I need to make them shoot!
Does a slower than optimum twist explain the flyers many people get with ABLR?
seems it could if it’s on the edge already I guess.? I’ve tried the 142gr around 3000mv with a 7.5 tw.
No bueno.
This was at 300yds.
SG shows 1.74 I just did a calculation
I’d think the annealing evidence was likely polished off before packaging?
But my assumptions have gotten me in trouble before. Don’t have direct experience with that company.
And when done correctly it sure doesn’t hurt to repeat, if it’s the 2nd time.
Well, you have options to form it from others in the 30/06 family.
Not all is lost. I’ve got 200pcs of new .270 Win brass I’ll ship for 250$
If it helps.
Its nosler brass in the boxes.
Bullet performance on game, accuracy on target, ease of load development and confidence in all of it means more to me than cost.
Or BC, within reason. This long range emphasis on about everything these days is overblown as we know, and by far most animals are taken at distances where BC is...
Have you looked at cross sections of both bullets? I think it’s obvious the BT Hunting is designed for animals.
unlike the ELDM.
I broke both shoulders on a 120-130lb doe and got an exit with a BT last week.
3000MV at about 200yds distance.
.257 125gr BT
.257 120gr AB
And I’m liking what’ve seen with the 160BT at 3000mv. Controlled expansion rather than explosion, like the old days.
Id take a .308 200gr BT also
