[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1980872, member: 2736"] I was around when they changed the jacket on the 120 Ballistic tip Because the original one had a thinner jacket for Varmint hunting. The Pelt hunters also complained about the explosive nature of the 120 Ballistic tip so when Nosler said they fixed it, As usual, I had to test it. I made a epoxy casting with a 120 and a 140 B Tip and machined half the bullets away. The jacket was .010 thousandths thicker on the 120 than the 140, so I found that at the increase in velocity, the heavier jacket actually performed better on deer size game and have sense, never gone back to the 140. I will use 140 and 150 in faster cartridges for there impact velocity and they perform very well. As you have experienced, I have had the same results and it is the only bullet i will use for the 7/08 for deer and hogs. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
