168 ABLR .284

Have any of you ever sorted these, based on BTO length?
I did based on advice from a very experienced gentleman from S.C. and the results are impressive.

Over a 3.5GR spread, in 8 separate 3-shot groups, the largest was .846 and the smallest was .242” at 100yds.
These were seated tight to the lands. No, I repeat no flyers.

I think I will continue this practice and see where we go, to 300 and beyond.

I haven't but I also haven't shot a ton of these. I've used some in my 7mm PRC and found a good sub-moa load at 100 yards that puts the hurt on deer. My bullets were factory seconds, but I didn't have any big groups or flyers. I might check some for the heck of it though.

Specifics on your load and rifle?

That is very good performance. Congratulations on finding a good load.

I used Reloader 23 for the test. N565 is next, I did a 5 shot ladder test with it yesterday looking at velocity that measured .416 CTC, over 2 full grains.

The rifle was built by Kinport Peak Rifles in Pocatello. Justin Linenbach.

The 7mm 168 ABLR is an excellent bullet! They are awesome in my 280 AI.

This is my first CFW barrel, I’m used to rem-varmint, palma, #6 type contours. This is a very comfortable setup with precision to boot
