There is basically nothing in common with the Accubonds and the Accubond Long Range other than they are both pedaled by Nosler- any similarity ends there.

The ABLR, the subject of the OPs question, are indeed very soft, the jackets very thin and with much neck tension, you will have varied seating depths and rings around the ogive from the seater.

The biggest concern I have with them is Noslers blatant inflation of the BCs. The 142 6.5 for example is more than .1 lower than published.

I suspect they will have very good terminal performance compared to most other bullets if they are slowed down enough.

If you want to shoot elk at 1200 yards, they may work well for you.

As for me, I gave all that I had away as they are a waste of powder as far as I am concerned.
