[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 264490, member: 1403"] The jacket is not any "thicker" on the 120g vs. 140g. The jacket from the 140g is used for the 120g, so they are essentially the same jacket. I dont know why, but the 7mm 120g bullet just doesn't seem to intrigue me for big game purposes. I think the 140g is the cats butt for 7mm and deer/lope, you'll never get me to switch to the 120g With that said, the 120g NBT "should" be every bit as good as the 140g NBT. You should be good to deer and lope to around 800 yards. I wouldn't even THINK about using this bullet for bear or elk. Thats just asking for trouble and one of the very reasons why you have so many people hating ballistic tips, because of this very reason, people using the wrong bullet, for the wrong job....Where do you see anyone using a 7mm 120g bullet for elk, let alone a ballistic tip???? Is this a trick question or what?? If you want to use NBT's for bigger game (elk/bear,) you at least owe it to the animal to use the heaviest one available for the caliber which would be the 150g NBT, not the lightest 120g NBT, to perform to the best of its ability. This way you reduce the risk of hitting the animal and watching it run away from a surface wound because you used a varmint bullet on a big game animal, then you get pised and swear off nosler NBT's and start bad mouthing them all over the place because you didn't use common sense, or the correct bullet for the task at hand. Not saying your one of these people, but there are many many out there who use the wrong weight of NBT for the task at hand, then go bad mouthing them all over town and internet how bad they suck, bloodshot meat, yadda yadda, when it was there own fault in the first place.
