I have more ABs to last a LONG time, and they are as good today as pre-LRAB - when/if I run out, I will try these LRABs perhaps, the original 129 SP is IMHO the benchmark for all non-mag short actioned 6.5s, as the Hornady just got it right long ago, very similar penetration, etc. as the 125 Partition, and that is saying alot. The non-mag rounds do not need mono's or partitions, though they do work well there too, I feel an AB is a perfect balance in expansion, and weight retention/penetration, for a majority of applications, game and ranges/angles/speeds. They are very accurate also.

If I had a long actioned mag, they would more than likely be fed a diet of 140s of some variety, no need in Mach 10 speeds with lighter bullets, the larger rounds can push the heavies well.
