Anyone tried the LRAB on game yet?

Hit a whitetail buck in the shoulder at about 370 yards with a 129 ABLR out of a 6.5x55 @3000fps at the muzzle. Bang flop, bullet exited and impressive damage.

Hit a running doe at 20 yards with a 150 ABLR at 3200+ out of a 7mm rem mag. Hit her in the spine right where the rib cage ends (Didn't lead her enough). Bullet exploded and the doe pretty much was in two pieces after I skinned her.

The ABLRs shoot very well in my guns but I might switch to 150 swift scirocco IIs in the 7mm, might hold up better at point blank ranges at magnum velocities.

So far, I have only harvested one WT buck with my Nosler LRAB's. The buck dropped on the spot at @ 200 yards. Bullet exited.
