Decided I wanted to hunt with a different bullet so I threw together a mid-range load from Nosler's page with the 129 ABLR. Zero'd and fired one 3 shot group:

They work well.

That is great to see! I have wondered about the Nosler LRAB in the Fieldcraft. I may have to add that to my 'must try ' list. Have you tried the 142 grain LRAB?



I haven't. I went with the 129 because JPro had recommended it from experience. After using the 143eldx on a couple of deer last year I wasn't impressed with it's performance on game, though it shot excellent on paper. The 129's performance was great on a rib in/rib out lung shot....which was expected. I'm hoping to test it a bit more between now and mid-February...I'll report results.
