169 ABLR

Just built a 7 PRC. Curious if any one has results with 168 ABLR for mule deer.

My .02 with all of the ABLR bullets is they are not worth the time. I have not seen someone get them to shoot well. I'm sure someone has, but I just haven't seen it yet.

You can shoot the 160 AB. That bullet (the AB in general) is a great performer and easy to load for. I forget the BC, but I think it was ~560.

The AB bullet has been a great performer for me in every cartridge I've loaded it for.

Agreed on the AB. I load it in my 30-06 180gr and absolutely hammers. Thought the 160 for 7prc might be to close to the edge as far as stability goes.

It would depend on what the twist of the gun is and the needed twist for the AB. At that weight, I haven't seen an issue with the 160. Usually when you get up to the 180 grain range you need a little faster twist. With the exception of copper.

I’ve had no issues getting any ABLR to shoot, across 4 different calibers. One of the best performing bullets I’ve used,
Up close and at distance. 6mm, 6.5, .284 and 30cal

We shoot 168 grain ABLR's out of two 7 mags and one 280 AI. Helluva a bullet! Great on elk and deer. I've heard some folks struggling to get them to shoot but for me the trick was give them jump and don't try to push them too fast. 2900 to 3000 is the node.

Sounds good.
