Nice! Don't be frightened to give the 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip a run.

very nice rifle. like the calibre. the one I had for a very short time liked the 120gn nbts, at least on paper, it never hit fur

Nice! Don't be frightened to give the 120 Nosler Ballistic Tip a run.

Only the price of the ballistic tips frightens me
How do they perform

How do they perform

At around 3000fps at the muzzle they are an accurate, stout and reliable bullet. I have shot a dozen deer (fallow), several pigs and goats with them and have only caught one. I also run the 120TTSX but haven't found the 120NBT lacking enough to reach for the TTSX very often. I am a fan of Hornady's in varmint calibres but the NBT's are the go for bigger stuff.

Nice one. Have the same rifle / stock combo in .223.

[Teepee]

Nice looking setup
Look forward to hearing how it performs at that distance.

Nice looking rig, I'm running 139gn Interlocks in my Brno, they shoot very very well, haven't nailed any critters yet, but am hoping to change that in the next few weeks.
