Any datat on Nosler ABLR 129 6.5mm

I have some Nosler ABLR comming for my 6.5 Creedmoor to try should I just use the data for the std AB 130's? The LR's are a tad longer I think?

Anyone use these LR accu bonds and your thoughts on them? Thinking in the 6.5 Creedmoor might increase effect range for the bullets seeing how they will open up down to 1300 FPS? Thanks

They like a little jump to the lands.
I shoot them in a 6.5-06 AI at around 3100. No on game exp other than a coyote.
I ran the first load at the 130 AB level minus a little and worked up.
They are accurate as can be once you find their spot.
I start at .05 off and go shorter. The 6.5-06 hit right around .1 off the lands.

You can use the same load data as the Nosler 130s.Start your loads at .040 or .050 off the lands. The ABLRs like a jump for best accuracy. My Creedmore does best with RL17 but H4350 is good just a tad slower.

Thanks will shorten them up,after checking OAL in my chamber and run them .40-.50 off max length of chamber.

45 grains Rl 17 in a 6.5 creed and seating bullets deeper is that a compressed load?

No it's about 98.5% load approaching max pressure. In my rifle it's about .10 off the lands. .050 off is a good starting point though. If your using max loads be careful when decreasing OAL. .010 or .020 won't be to much of an increase but .050 will start to raise pressures.
