FWIW, Nosler says the jacket and core of the BT are the same as the Accubond, just not bonded. Changes to the BT jacket over the years can confuse the comparison though.

If someone wants them shoot me a PM, they will be reasonable. Think I'll probably work with a Grendel next. PM sent I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

There is a huge database of bullet test in various test media including deer and hogs.btw the hornady 120 sstt is highly regarded as a deer and hog bullet. Or just continue to guess !!

They dump nearly all of their energy into the hog. It's best not to shoot a deer using the 120sst near any meat you want to keep. Any of the Barnes bullet retain their weight and pass through, even length ways. Hornady GMX does the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jfAWKfYsUUY "I threw a touchdown pass in the last minute to win the state championship game. I know it was 30 years ago and not relevant to this discussion but it makes me important and believable, it's the only great thing I even accomplished"

I took your advice and looked at the 6.8 forum...it was a LOT of help developing a load and determining the right seating depth..I got instantly better results at the range...
