    I've given up on ABLR a while back. With tuned loads, they still like to wander around the target at their own will

    Re: Best longrange hunting bullet for medium sized game.

    ive shot both 178gr and 200gr eldx and also 190gr ABLR (not that big of a fan)
    H4350- 178gr eldx
    H4831-200gr eldx
    my mountain goat was dead as dead can be with the 178's
    ill be using the 178's in my custom .300wsm with a 20" tube.
    but if your keeping your max range around 400-500 yards id probably go with the nosler accubonds

    That $23 will not mean so much on the day when you need something right now and they are out of business. It’s hard to spend more than you need to, but I try to support local businesses as much as I can.

    .264 winmag- I’d be super pleased with that buck. We almost bought an acreage in Cherryville last year. Looks like there are some nice critters out that way.

    I was shooting some steel at 565 yards yesterday with some 165 grain(I think interlocks) that I had loaded up a while ago. It was definitely sub moa at 200m and 300m just shooting off of a Harris bipod with no rear rest. I’m definitely going to push it out further, I’m just not sure if I’m comfortable shooting at game much past that.

    If it were a small mom and pop shop that offered some insight into problems, some level of service or some niche products then I’d feel differently, but it’s canadian tire.

    This is my findings as well, have tried them in many different cartridges/calibers and I couldn't get them to shoot, regular Accubonds are very forgiving and seem to shoot well out of most anything

    Well that’s a whole different story!

    Re: Best longrange hunting bullet for medium sized game.

    I was fortunate enough to cut my mulie tag Friday morning using the 178 ELD-X out of my 300WSM, 63.5gr H4350 going 2930 fps. The deer was shot from 50 yards, quartering away slightly. Bullet went through left rear ribs, right ribs, smashed the opposite side humerus bone in half and stopped just short of exiting the far shoulder muscle. Found what was left of the lead core about 1" from the rear copper cup, both pieces together weighed 104.5gr (59%). Somehow that deer absorbed all 3200 ft-lbs and managed to make it 40 yds downhill before piling up with it's front leg pointing straight up. Bloodshotting was extensive on the far side.
