Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting What Nosler LRAB for 7mm Rem. Mag.

A buddy of nine just showed me this this afternoon. Shot by his wife, from his 280 AI @ 2900 fps. The 150 LRAB, killing the cow at 440 yds, rib to rib. They could not find the bullet but the butcher did find it stuck in the off side rib. Weighed 80 gr and I measured it at .5" across the widest point. The cow was up the steep angled hill side like you see in the back ground. Once she went down like a ton of bricks, DRT, she picked up speed and was absolutely cart wheeling/careening nearly to the bottom.

GSSP,

That place looks familiar. Nice cow elk. I really like the idea of a 280ai.

It might. It's just inside the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon, very close to the Garth Kilpack rifle range.

Looks like the shooter made a great shot and the bullet did precisely what it was designed to do !

That same young lady/shooter can hit'em far or close.

WapitiBob, these lrabs hold together far better than the Bergers we had been using. There is also substantially less bloodshot meat.

I use the same dots for multiple loads for multiple rifle. That day I had 5 rifles out there. I record the group sizes and velocities and tape up the holes.
This way I can use the same orange dot (4 or 5 of them) many times without having to wait for the range to go cold. BTW I only shoot 3 shot groups from Big game rifles.


Also there are 6 shots on that target. Dead on bulls'eye , adjacent to that at 11 o'clock, and the other one in the white at 10 o' clock.

Omitting bad shots? That is fooling yourself on your rifle's ability no?

As for the ruler? If it's under 3/4" for a hunting rifle that is more than good 'nuff for me.

Very nice congrats!

It's looking pretty good in that picture above for sure.
