[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 611677, member: 10178"] The reason the 120 BT disintegrated on those close shots is because your impact velocity was well over the max impact velocity that the bullet was designed to operate at which is 3000 fps. Those longer shots the bullet has slowed down below 3000 fps. I chose the 130 Accubond for that very reason. I was getting over 3600 fps with the 120 BT in my 264 Win mag with Retumbo. Because I get close in shots sometimes on deer I decided to forgo the 120 and go to the 130 AB. Wise choice I found out. It works superbly on close in and looooooooog range. I average 3350 fps with the 130 AB and Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
