    I like the 123 for reminding me how accurate the rifle is.
    They shoot consistently the tightest out of all the bullets I have tried.

    I havent shot anything bigger than a hare with the 123 So I wouldnt know. I dont intend to use them on anything other than the odd hare, rabbit or targets either.

    Yeah they were developed for the Grendel users in mind. Speaking of Grendel, mines turn up from SSRNZ so the 260Imp will have a wee brother to keep company. Another 30deg shoulder you know...

    I tried a few on game animals, few goats (3-4) and one fallow and one sika, seamed to work just fine, all shots inside 100m, pretty messy, but so is a 125gr partion at close range, my normal .260 bullet.

    Do you want a few 129 LRAB to try as a sample? I've got about 70-80 that might need a home.
