Shot at 400 yards with 150 gr ablr from my Remington 700 in 7mm08. Lined up three jugs thinking it wouldnt get through them all. It destroyed the first two and left thumb sized hole in the third, big crack and thumb hole on exit and I found it nosed into the soft sand behind the jugs. Really like it at two hundred yards and really love it at 400. Fingers crossed for a Wyoming antelope tag this year! A piece of bullet is visible in the pic from one of the jugs, well embedded in the plastic

Excellent! I've had very good results with the 150 grain ABLR launched from a .280 Rem. So far it has accounted for a nice 6X6 elk and a largish mule deer. No complaints on my end.

Nice work Steve.
The 7mm 150 gr ABLR is an excellent bullet. I am using it in my 280AI for deer and hopefully WY antelope this fall.

I confess I shot this with my friends rifle-we were cleaning his buck when this one came trotting in to see what sort of circus was going on-in a moment of terrible weakness I used a friends 30-378 to shoot the buck instead of my own 7mm08-results were the same I guess and I don't know the grains but pretty sure he had factory loaded ballistic tips in his rifle-
