Default Accubond vs Accubond LR

Any have experience with both of these? More so the LR

I shoot a 7mm-08 and have found the BT a little on the violent side under 100 yards, the AB too hard with the 7s “lower” velocity on deer especially.

The LR says they made the jacket thinner up front to expand faster and at lower velocity (1300fps compared to AB at 1800fps). Kinda sounds like the best of both worlds, fast expansion for close up deer and bonded for further away weight retention for elk (maybe) and still AB performance.

Currently I am shooting 140 BT/AB combo, BT for deer and AB for elk/moose. Been ok with performance on both but not really super happy with either. Any experience with these LRs that anyone can weigh in on?
