My experience found the 145gr ELD-X and 150gr BT to shoot better than the ABLR. Settled on the 145gr ELD-X. This in a 1:10 twist. Really looking forward to playing with a faster twist.
I do not need a 600 yard hunting rifle either, but I sure enjoy stretching the distance and banging steel with one of my favorite cartridges.
Tested 150 gr. ABLR from a 1:10 twist shows marginal stability and a BC (G7) of 0.279.
That BC still adds right at 100 yards to the 150 gr. NP at range, if you can get'em to shoot.
And because it would be a dedicated long range load, was considering the ELD-X and Sierra GameChanger/TGK as well.
