ABLR Seating Depth

[jrebel]

What is everyone experience with ABLR seating depth.  Been playing with the 210 gr ablr for the 300 win mag and it is the most finicky bullet I have ever played with.  I am a long way off the lands and finally starting to get decent results but just decent. 

Just curious what everyone else has experienced. 

thanks in advance

I’ve heard touching or around .100-.120.    Guess it likes a big jump.

Very deep...About 2’ deep in the trash

Couldn’t get them to go fast and accurate both and got sick of trying.

Hate these bullets because of how finicky they are.  I get great accuracy at factory bullet length and way slow in my 06.  It is a long long ways from lands and the only reason I am using them is because I have them and don’t do much with the rifle.  I have tried them in 4 different rifles and gave up on 3 after I felt I was at the same place after shooting over 50 rounds in each.

You mean in my 06?     Yes I am a cheapo

i just loaded the 190 ABLR in my 300 wby to max mag length and it seems to like it.

Amazing performer on game but what a PITA to load! I got them to shoot half minute in a few guns but at pretty pathetic speeds for the caliber. 10 thou off lands is what seemed to work for me in a 7mag, 300wsm, .270, and a 280ai.  Never could get them accurate with a long jump but others seemed to have success with it.  Life is too short to chase good results.  If the margin for accuracy is that small on seating depth then you'll have to continue this headache over and over as your throat erodes.  Nosler needs to come up with a new design

I have a load worked up that works with 200 grain accubonds but had a box of the 210 sitting on the shelf so started playing with them.  Needless to say......I won't be buying anymore.  I was hopeful I could make them shoot but don't think I want to waste anymore time with them.

My 270 Tikka shoots like 3 to 4 inch groups with 150 LRAB's. Best I've seen is 2 inch. Horrible. Then you go and load up 140 Sierra gameking 140s boat tail soft point and 1st group tested at 200 yards was 1/2 inch all touching. With a lot of 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards.
I wanted to use those lr accubonds really bad but I won't waste my time

[h20hunter]

Give me a standard accubond all day long. The lr.....nope.

[Jonathan_S]

  what's the strategic advantage of the LR over the standard if one cannot consistently run it at peak velocity?

[h20hunter]

To me, none. Some very nice bullets that shoot match grade accuracy and will lay the smack down on fur.

Plus a realistic published BC on the standard AB
