It sure does make a pretty cartridge, that's for sure.

You always make them look good enough that I want to shoot them too!

Cool!

I have some of those I'd like to load in my little 6.5 CM.. I messed around a little with the 127 LRX's and easily got into the 2950 range with them. I am thinking the 129 ABLR's might be even better and almost tailor made for the little fella! 2950 and that sorta BC might surprise some folks..

Looks sweet, curious to see how they shoot.

My wife's Creedmoor shoots the 129g ABLR into 1/2 inch. RL-17 going 2830 fps with a 20 inch barrel.

That’s a great load. Might have to try them in my 6.5 AR10. I’m kinda liking the AR’s more now that I don’t have instant access to them.

Chronographed these at 2656 1/2 grain under book max with a 22" barrel.

That’s not too bad. Not saying I ignore book max but I do try to attain book speeds. Accounting for brass, diff lots of powder, primers and barrels is all part of it as well. I’d bet a buck you could easily see 2850 and change with a bit of work. It’d be a real decent spot to work up a 10 shot load test though.

Nosler book load is 2953 fps with 43.5 g of RL17 and 24 in. barrel. I got 2830 fps with 20 in. barrel.

I’d say you’re spot on.

I get ~2900 with 43.5 RL17 and the 130 AB in my 22" Predator, so right in line with you guys.
