Yep, they open at 200 fps slower than comparable bullets. No clue as to what the comparable bullets are that they are comparing or what their velocities are supposed to be. If they intend this bullet for the 6.5 Creedmore, the 200 fps reduction isn't going to be much help.
This link says it will open between 1600 and 3200 fps. 1600 fps is in the realm of some of our hunting bullets already.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

I have found the FTA (Federal Terminal Ascent) bullet to be very close in BC and length to the ABLR so I loaded ladders tests and shot them today. I loaded both with 28, 29, and 30gr of CFE 223 and all of them shot well but the 29gr load shot under 1/2" for 3 shots at 50yds with both bullets. Noticing that the 30gr ABLR group had opened up, I decided to shoot the 30gr FTA load at 100yds and was surprised with a 1" 3 shot group.
Next go around I'll shoot both bullets at 100yds with the 29gr load and run them over a chrono. Then I plan to test them both in boxes filled with wet newspapers to compare penetration and expansion.
