Looking at Loaddata.com, that load should run around 3,200 fps.
I've read that the 120 NBT is tougher than older BT's, which had a less that stellar reputation for holding together on game, particularly when driven fast.
BT's are known for accuracy.
Question: Is this a good bullet choice for WT's, etc. at 3,200 fps.?
I'm asking, because I really don't know.

I shoot NBT out of a 300 WM. 165's with 79 Gr of RL 22. Chronos at 3230. That being said I shot a mule deer at 500 yards with this load. Broke the front shoulder - bullet exploded and had to put rohnd #2 in the ribcage to anchor him down. I have switched to AB's which believe it or not chrono at 100 fps slower even though they have the same BC...
Shot a 240 lb whitetail with my 264 win mag and a 130 accubond and the bullet hit the shoulder and bounced back creating a massive wound and ran down the hide. Found it intact and weighing 90 gr at his back knee - Guess im saying from my experience that the AB holds together better than the NBT....
