129gr ABLR Ammunition from Nosler (Blems)

[LRRPF52]

OK, so I was out testing some nosler blem ABLRs in hand loads. The fastest accurate load I got out of an 18" AR averaged 2217 FPS. This will do for up to 300 yard shots if we are using 1000 FPE as a cutoff. Has anyone shot deer with this bullet with lower impact energy than 1000 FPE? I know these will expand down to 1200FPS, but by then we are talking about less than 500 FPE which seems inadequate.

There are some forum members who have used it from 11.5” barreled Grendels for hunting, dropped the deer in their tracks.

It’s a bonded bullet that is really soft, so it expands easily and penetrates deeply.
