Thread: Nosler 168 lrab feild report

I thought I would post my findings to date on this projectile as there is minimal information on the Internet about it and a lot of it is very conflicting.

I haven't previously used the Lrab and had a mate down for a hunting trip over the weekend and we shot 3 animals

Cartridge; 7mm saum with a MV of 2937fps. Shoots under 1/3 moa at 100 yards

First animal was shot in the base of the neck at 565 yards so not a great test but nice to know long range accuracy is good.


The second was another red hind at 300 yards and was shot behind the shoulder. Not a lot of resistance for the pill to expand, 2 inch exit hole. Hind ran 50 yards and collapsed.

The 3rd was this big bodied stag at 314 yards. Low shoulder shot. Didn't take a step, no exit hole and found the projectile on the inside of the skin, far shoulder

It's fair to say I am very happy with the performance of this pill. I will add my findings for any further kills which may not be for a while as the freezer is chocka.

If anyone has their own experiences with the Lrabs I would be interested to hear.
Cheers G
