Good to see them work at short range

I reckon 9.25 would be plenty fast enough mate.
I have tried loading for a couple of other 7mm Magnums with no success in the past. It may well be the minimal jump that they like. I think I just got lucky!

Gpk do know what your jump is ? both the 150 and the 168 are eluding me at the moment

@wayno the 168's are right up it - 2 thou off the lands

I have been using 210grain long range accubond in my 300rum as a target /hunting load recently and it has been devastating on deer.
Last shot was reasonable close at 200 yards, hit in front shoulder and was like a lightning bolt hitting it. Didn't take a step.

Have shot over 100 deer and around 200ish goats now with the lrab.
It is certainly an impressive pill and I would rate it right up there with the 180 eldm.
Yesterday I shot a goat at 930 yards, my longest confirmed kill. Was only a Nanny so was impressed with its ability to knock over a light skined animal at that range.

It's going to hurt buying more of them with the rate everything is going up in price.

On the topic of LRAB

129LRAB, 6.5PRC 365metres
Big sika stag

@hotsoup wow!
That's impressive damage
How's the accuracy

Great! 20" barrel at 3010FPS, a mild load I'm told. It's an alpine precicion build, I use this as a guide rifle. Has taken at least 40+ animals this season including large trophy red stags @Gkp

Hit em in the right spot and they go down hard, impressed with this projectile

A pill recovered from a hog that was walking away up hill at 300 yards. Entering just rear of shoulder blades and coming to rest inside the skin on front right shoulder.
Good weight retention
