    Watching Ammoseek? 129 Ablr's

    Anyone watching Ammoseek? Right now the 129 Ablr's are going for $57/100 or thereabouts.
    A far cry from the $80-100 price point of a couple months ago...

    You’re talking tips, not loaded ammunition, right?

    I just found 129gr ABLR loaded ammo on Ammoseek for $36.13 / 20.

    For those of you who want to use that this coming hunting season, that’s your mark to buy I think. It’s normally $59.95 from that vendor.

          That website is charging $55 to ship 5 boxes. Uninsured. Look elsewhere....

              Holy carp, that’s not cool. I’ve had large cases of ammo sent for far less, even free.

                Yeah, that seemed a little excessive.....

                HOWEVER....they did send me an email later they would give me 3% off to complete my purchase.....LOL

                  I had excellent accuracy success with the 129 ABLR's out of 12" barrel and a 18" barrel. two different brand barrels both 1-8 twist. I used tac powder. Hornady brass. 2.258 COL.
                  I started at 27.0 and worked up at .2 grains increments to 27.6 three round shot groups to just see if i could find a decent group to work with. Every group shot like 1 1/2"- 2" until i got to last set of 3. they shot same hole perfectly. Nosler shows max load at 27.5 max with tac. here is picture after the first 2 shots from the 18". LoL after the second shot i thought i had missed the paper cause i couldn't see second shot till i walked up to target. 3rd shot was right in with first 2. The 12" pistol shot just as good as the 18".

                      I actually worked up to 27.8 but stopped there. At 27.8 the group started to open up again.

                          Mine right now are feeding off of xbr, I'm going to try some Ar comp this week. I have tac and wondered about it, so might give it a try. But so far they are doing pretty well for me in xbr. I found a 3rd lb of the Ar comp, my current lot#, at my lgs this week, so am loaded up ok with it for now. The xbr I'm early into lb #2 of a 3# set.
                          20", 27.2 xbr, 2403 fps, Sd 2.8. Actually I think this could be a bit fast for 20" lilja barrel - maybe 2375 might be better, but we'll see; it was also a warm day about 88 deg. Haven't decided on OAL yet, that's next. Plus some trials in 18" a new Rainier I put together. I've had a 300 hamr for a while but am looking for something to replace it in the rotation lineup, this new 18" might fit the bill.

                            I was seeing 2135 fps out of the 12" and around 2420 in the 18"
                            cant remember what i got at 27.2 of tac but groups weren't good till 27.6 of tac.
