Just wondering, How many shots do you get at 500 yds as opposed to say 200 to 250? Maybe I'm confused here. Maybe you won't take a shot at 250 or less unless its last day and your loosing shooting hours!Stick with the ABLR you’ll be fine! Close range they’ll fragment and make a mess but even at 500 they kinda make a mess. I use the ABLR in my creedmoor because I want reliable expansion at long range. In my 6.5 PRC I use the 140 AB because the velocity at 500 will expand the AB and most likely give me two holes. This is the ABLR at 425 on a whitetail my wife shot. Keep in mind it did hit the point of the front shoulder! Also a black tail she took at 120
