[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3052047, member: 122164"] The Nosler 120g Ballistic tip was designed for the guys shooting Metallic Silhouette. They made the jacket thicker than the 140g so that when the bullet hit the steel, the bullet would have "more time on target" than other thinner jacket bullets. This "more time on target" lead to more knockdown power on deer/hogs. For deer hunters, the 120g Nosler ballistic tip is a great choice, offering speed with penetration. I have one Rem 700 that is set up to shoot the 120's, 3500 fps. Deer have never traveled over 40 yards when shot with this load. In the short freebore 7 STW, I have a load set up for the 120g Nosler and Barnes at 3850 fps out of 25.5" Sendero barrel that was originally a New 7 Rem mag, cut a length of the neck off the breach end and re-chambered. We set up a food plot that ran 525-560 yards from our stand down a power line, and the stand was named the "STW stand". We have killed 50 or so deer from that stand over the years, 120g Noslers, with deer never running over 50 yards. I used the 7 mag with 120g Noslers out of stands overlooking a cutover, never a problem. I ended up trying all this new stuff out of pure boredom. [/QUOTE]
