Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Non-Magnums using ABLR for Elk

Hi all,

Been doing way too much internet reading and haven't really found what I have been looking for. I have been looking into the ABLR for my 7mm-08 for my deer/elk bullet of choice. Seems like a good marriage of a ballistic tip front and bonded rear at the lower velocities my 7mm-08 will push it at. The 150gr with its high BC will move my 1500ftlb mark from 300 to 450 yards. I know it will devastate deer but looking for more field reports on elk.

I currently use a standard 140 AB and 140 BT for my elk/deer hunting needs but having one bullet seems good too.

What real experiences do you all have with it (not the standard AB, I know that works) at 2000-2800fps? Penetration? Expansion? Recovered bullets? Shoulder hits? Impact velocities?
