Range Report Federal Premium edge TLR

Now that they’ve been out a few years does anyone have any real experience with the TLR’s that they would care to share? Moon is almost done rebarreling ect. a rifle for me and I’m looking at some different bullets to load for it. I’d like something a little stouter than the ELDX or Berger’s, but one that is still slippery enough to have a decent BC. The Nosler ABLR is on the list to try and I was wondering about the TLR’s. Anyone been shooting them? Not that I’ll succeed, but I’m trying to just have one load for thie rifle and not have to have a target load and a hunting load. I’m not suggesting you can’t hunt with a ELDX or Berger (I’ve hunted quite a bit with each), I just prefer something that hangs together a little better especially if I end up in a tight spot with Mr. fuzzypaws. (I’ve been down that road before) Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Seriously? No one has tried these or knows someone who has? Wow.

I haven't used them for hunting yet but I have gotten from .3-.5MOA accuracy at 100 from the 175gr 308 load. Only had a box or two of them and didn't have anywhere to shoot further at the time. One of the YouTube channels shot them into an oatmeal media at 800yds and was still getting expansion.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been checking out the YouTube stuff and that’s what actually got me interested in them. I think the concept they have is very good and fills a much needed niche for folks like myself who live with some big toothy critters but also want to do a lot of range shooting. Not that switching between zeros is that big of a deal, it would just be nice to have one bullet do both duties pretty well and not be $1 a piece. Maybe I’m cheap, but pissing through Barnes TTSX’s and LRX’s on steel is a bit much.
