Pappy,
Have taken some game with the ABLRs, especially the 129-grain 6.5s. While they hold together, they're designed to expand easily at longer ranges. Those recovered at "conventional" ranges average about 50% weight retention, give or take 10%, which is about what I've found with Ballistic Tips and Hornady Spire Point Interlocks.

I’ve heard that before, probably from you come to think of it.🤔
The 6.5s are for my Grendel, which should provide about the right velocity for good performance at the ranges I deal with, and even out there a bit if it comes to that. The .270s are the standard ones, picked up cheaply from SPS and may never see the field since my .270 is pretty hefty, and I’m pretty old, but perhaps my offspring can make good use of them. I find myself with a schitt ton of bullets since I have a hard time passing up stuff I don’t need at a price I can’t resist, as the saying goes, and for a while SPS was almost giving stuff away at times.
