thanks for that, SU




Why does a bullet that is designed to by used at LR not offering much promise for using at LR?


Damn what a conundrum. I have been waiting to try the 168gr LRAB's also. I have shot most of the game I've killed using the 7 Rem mag with 160 NPT's and Barnes 160 XLC's. I was hoping to up the B.C. a bit and the LRAB's shine in that arena, I've tried the 180 Scenars but haven't yet gotten them to shoot as accurately as I'd like.

I do know dry print is very hard on bullets and it's not how bullets behave in animals. It's difficult to find an accurate media to test bullets on. I'm not yet ruling out the LRAB's but it has me wondering.

The testing and reporting is much appreciated.
