I would tend to think the 24" barrel length would be much better served with RL23.......
 
You would hit the "Optimum Bullet Time in Barrel" node 5 quiet nicely (if you are a believer). 1.228 ms puts you somewhere just over 3000 fps.

You couldn't quite make node 4 (1.1016 ms)
 
I have no idea what that means, I have read about nodes but I have no Idea how to figure any of that or where to come up with it. So as far as you are saying please explain. I am willing to learn but dumb as a stick when I see node talk.
 
What bullet are you saying would hit the 3000fps mark?

I like the 150 ablr bullets (if I can get them to shoot) But I have heard they don't penetrate game. I don't see how not being a bonded bullet but who knows. So I might work up some with the regular accubonds also is why im asking for ql info on them. Ill go with whichever gives me the best groups first.

I can't imagine anyone who is the least bit knowledgeable about terminal velocity of these bullets could make such a statement. Excellent bullet that performs very well.

+1 on what he said...... 150LRAB one of the best bullets in .284 ever made.
 
I just cant buy that these bullest don't penetrate. There a quality bullet, so I don't know what there talking about.
