They're intentionally made tough, have been for many years. If I remember correctly, they were made that way for the silluete crowd and then all of us regular folk caught on as well.
Great bullet.

I snagged a few boxes before they sold out. I'll give them a try on porkers in 7x57.

They work fine out of a 7mm Magnum.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

They shoot good on paper for me, but I'm worried they would frag at 3450+ from my 7 WSM.

I'll push them about 2900 and see what they do.

I've shot a few dozen hogs with them from a 7-08 @ 3050. 95% have exited.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

You all cleaned them out before I could pull the trigger on an order.
I was not meant to add to my stash.

Here are a couple of white-tailed recipients of the 120 NBT at 3325 out of the .280 AI. We have yet to keep one inside a deer: Me with one whacked at 151 yards. In behind onside shoulder exited dead center of off shoulder: Dad with one he whacked at 75 yards. Neck Shot. You can see the exit hole in the neck:

That's certainly what it looks like.

I ordered before this thread started. My order (just 400) arrived 2 days ago.
