I only have experience with the 153 Atip on game. Inconsistently inconsistent wound channels and I do not recommend the 153 for hunting. Too bad as it’s an incredible bullet on paper and steel.
I’ve gravitated virtually all of my saltwater reels to Danielsson for the majority of my saltwater arsenal. Designed, engineered and manufactured brilliantly. Incredible sealed drags. Simply perform. Wish they were louder!
I have a bunch of Abel’s too. Tibor has an excellent reputation...
