25 Sherman Long action. It’s an AI plus some. 71.5GR capacity in thick Peterson brass

I know they are selling, and it's obvious they don't care to take the step into using girth instead of length for capacity, but long and slender cases are not the way...short and fat kills them in every way, assuming case capacity is the same. If a guy hasn't tried it before, he really needs to...

Sorting ABLR’s to the nearest thousandth eliminated flyers for me completely. Now they are predictable with seating depth changes and have been tight on targets, at the short/medium ranges.

Just ordered another batch of ABLR for my 6.5 Mega. 129grs and they will be on high speed pursuit, maxed out with regular 130AB’s earlier at 3505fps.

Tried ABLR’s last year myself for the 1st time. Results on paper and meat left nothing to be desired.

Shoot heavy for caliber if you use the Elite Hunter or Hybrid Target. And I stay off the shoulder. Frangibles aren’t terrible with a higher SD and a lot of mass, but I still prefer Accubonds or BT Hunting. Lately I’ve begun to explore mid weight monos also. So far so good.

If a rifle won’t group with a BT….. figure out what’s wrong with the setup!

At that velocity the BT Hunting will be well behaved, predictable and boringly precise as usual!

Don’t choot at me please!

I don’t understand the re- release of a bullet that expands and penetrates exactly like a current offering, is it just nostalgia? Or are they trying to sell to the guys that are scared to use “Ballistic Tips” from the reputation of the early version maybe?

Looks like a beautiful death awaits. What is different about the SB jackets, compared to BT Hunting?

they MIGHT fly apart at high velocity.? I assume you have an 8tw barrel?

That company is getting with the program…good stuff.👍

Sounds like it’s just right for behind the shoulder.?!

I’ve been considering running these in my 6.5 Mega, or the 142gr. Or the 130gr AB.

Tough and consistent brass, in my experience. I’ve used quite a bit of 280AI.

They are so very convenient, in every way.

Just used for hunting, you don’t really need many bullets for a hunting season. There certainly are easier and cheaper selections for play time and off season, for me anyhow. Like Ballistic Tips or Berger.

I don’t have IMR 4831 anymore

If you have a doubt get one chucked up and put a needle on it. If it’s reamed straight….i guess that would eliminate one thing. I’m sure there is a way to check shell holder vs die thread alignment. It never ends…
