[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 571950, member: 10178"] The 120 Sierra performed just like it was designed to. It is a cup and core bullet made to expand all it's energy in a deer size animal. It did and it wiped out the vitals and killed on the spot. What more could you ask for? If you wanted the bullet to hold together and exit you need to slow it down to around 2500 fps muzzle velocity. I have used the 120 Sierra and Nosler ballistic tip in 6.5X55 Swede at 3000 fps muzzle and they exhibit the same results inside 200 yards. Beyond 200 yards they usually exit because they have slowed down enough. If you want a bullet to fly great be very accurate and expand but hold together go to the Nosler 130 Accubond. I shoot it in my 264 Win Mag at 3350 fps and even at close range it exits but really messes up the vitals. [/QUOTE]
