[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 331797, member: 412"] I've hunted with them exclusively from 243Win through 300Win from '04 through '19. Since '19 I've also used ABLR's to fill 4 tags. I've recovered 1 ABLR, 150gn .277. The recovered portion weighs 55gn. Impact velocity was 2850fps. The bullet entered a bit behind the ear quartered HARD towards, it shattered 3-4 elk neck vertebrae and I found the slug just ahead of the off-side shoulder. I was going to stick the bullet nearly full-frontal just inside the on-side shoulder, but, as I shot my heartbeat lifted my reticle a bit and the elk dipped his head to take a step up/forward and the trigger broke. Instant lights-out. I wasn't disappointed w/33% weight retention @ that close range and very resilient target media. The neck hide on a bull is tough, the muscle is tough, and the vertebrae are large and tough. [/QUOTE]
