I shot three 7mm 168 gr ABLR's into water jugs and recovered them, all in the 5th jug.
Distance to jugs was 40 yds
Temperature was 13* F
Load was 60.0 grs RL 22 which produced a MV of 2936 fps 12' from the muzzle.
From L to R-
.501" 74.9 grs; .503" 73.5 grs; .490" 76.5 grs
Additional testing will be done at longer ranges once the snow melts. I am also going to shoot a couple from my T/C Contender 7x30 Waters at a much lower velocity to simulate extreme long range expansion and penetration.
