PNWGATOR, thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a long range off the shelf load. After testing this might be it.
Some friends and I went up in the mountains to do some shooting today and check out this ABM ammo. We shot it through two different 300's and had good results with both. Since I only had one box this test isn't the be all end all but it gave us enough to get an idea how this ammo will perform. We set up a paper target at 200 yds and shot like we would in an actual hunting situation (except the shooting mat!). First up, Paul shot a 3 shot group with Christensen Arms Ridgeline. His first group was right at 2" or one M.O.A.
Next it was my turn to see how my custom Tikka would like the ABM loads. I too shot a 3 shot group at 200 yards and was very happy with the results.
Justin Crossley what nightforce scope is that on the ridgeline? And is it 50mm of 56mm? And what rail is it on? And is it the 20moa?
It's the Nightforce SHV 5-20x56. The rail is a 20 moa rail that came with the Ridgeline but I can't remember who makes it off the top of my head. The rings are made by Xtreme Hardcore Gear. I believe they are lows but they may be mediums.
Used this ammo through my Rem 700. Shot .5 MOA. Killed 3 animals so far this season all one shot kills. Unfortunately everything was 300 yards and closer. Pretty impressed with this ammo so far. One deer was shot at 240 yards. Bullet farther back in the ribs and exited the bucks chest leaving a softball sized wound. The other two kill shots were a 300 yard neck shot on another buck and a 150 yard head shot on a cow elk. Would highly recommend this ammo. The first 5 rounds did show some signs of pressure but I haven't noticed any issues since.
