JD how do you think the 129 gr ABLR will react at less than 100 yards compared to the 130 ACB? Reason I am asking is that I shot a good buck this past season and he went over 200 yards with the 129ABLR. Being honest it was a quick shot I hit him almost dead center of his body. I know the shot...
That was my first deer with my AR10 6.5. I set that rifle up so I could shoot feral hogs and get shots off faster. I have tons of them on my deer lease. Needless to say I have not seen one hog in the day light since I started using the AR10. I usually hunt with a .270 win.
As you can see all the blood around his mouth he had to be spitting it up. I found blood spots that looked like they were poured out from a bucket on the ground. He sure was easy to track.
OK thanks I have shot the 150 Accubond LR very little but manage to shoot a .865 group at 100 yards 2777 fps. Guess I will stay with them. Thank you for the quick response.
Anyone here that has tried this bullet yet? Interested in some load data if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks Mike

I use the RDF in almost all my target rifles. They like to jump. This rifle is my 2nd 6.5 creed. I have a Savage 110 desert tactical it is a bit too heavy for my kind of hunting in my area.
I am currently working up load development also for the 129 ABLR for whitetails here in NW Louisiana. Yesterday at the range I was testing My 6.5 Axis with a 22" barrel. Seems like the 129 ABLR is very similar to the 130 RDF. Here is my results using the RDF and N140 in Peterson brass 100 yards...
