But put some 120-grain Ballistic Tips through a 26 Nosler the other day at over 3500 fps and only two of five hit an 18x18" target at 100 yards. All the other bullets tried went into 1.5" or less, usually MUCH less.


I thought the 120 NBT had a beefed up jacket?


I believe you're thinking of the 120 in 7mm.
