Looks like that Nosler AccuBond performed just as it should have. Deadly, accurate, impressive.

I'm planning on using 175 grain ABLR on elk this fall. Will be the .284" bullet.
Anyone take a large animal with that one or compable ABLR lately?

Picked up a jug of N570 over the weekend so the experiment with the 28 Nosler - 175 - Peterson brass will soon begin. I have the 1 in 9 twist so hopefully they shoot
The ABLR 150 in my 270 WCF shoots nicely and it's an old school 1 in 10 twist. I feel comfortable with the Ruger out to 400 yards.
The 28 Nosler in the Mountain Carbon is a whole another story, planning on stretching it out this summer to 500 on paper and then 1k on gongs & recording data for my hold over dope

I wouldn’t worry a bit about 175 ABLRs on elk or even moose sized stuff. It’s been a very good hunting bullet for me and my group.

Here it is in late October & I finally got it done.
Range day with the Nosler 175 ABLR today. The 78.0 grain loading of H1000 was the most consistent of the 3 loads tested. Ran sub MOA with outstanding numbers. Muzzle velocity of 3094 fps
Noted a extreme spread of 2.5 fps &, standard deviation of 1.1 fps
Admittedly a small sample size of 3 rounds. Going to do up another 20 of that load and test out to 500 yards
Will have to shorten up the OAL to fit the box, otherwise it's a single shot

GREAT!
I wouldn't hesitate to run it as a single-shot, if the deeper seating doesn't perform as well.

That’s a great load. Mimics what I do with the Mashburn Super and I haven’t found a better killing load to date.
