[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 5779, member: 457"] The Sierra 120 gr HPBT was an incredible disappointment for me when I got into the LR game. I had been building ammo for years for a friend's 25/06 using this bullet. He is a traditional distance hunter and the HPBT was like a magical slayer of game within his 250-300 yard range. I witnessed his shooting and became interested in the cartridge. I, too, had wonderful success at traditional distances with the bullet until I tried it in my first LR rat rifle. Boy, was that an eye opener! Out past the 500 yard mark, that big cavity must really start catchin' the wind. Sunk like a stone and the wind wreaked havoc with it when compared to the 100 gr MK. Soon after, I tried the 117 SBT and all was well again! Great performance on antelope, mule deer, and whitetails. My field results with this bullet are very much in line with the tables as published by Sierra when altitude corrections are considered. Someday I may have to try one of those hotrod 25s.
