Registered: 01/25/01 Posts: 38314 Loc: Paradise,Alaska The 120XBT at 3500fps,gives up but 100ft lbs of energy to the 160gr Partition at the 600yd line,as a comparison. That,while making MORE from the muzzle to the 550-ish yd line initially. Plus it has a nice trajectory edge,as well as the ability to dig deep up close and personal.
120's in a 7mm,make many folks nervous,because they have little to no prior dealings with superlative componetry,to go from. The 120XBT is a KNOWN quantity and is wicked,mean and nasty,in roughly that order.
The 140's(XLC) are easier to "push",to the masses. Both Trump the 160 Partition at it's own game(yes figuratively and literally).
I just hate to see a cartridge as grand as the 7mmRemmag,hamstrung with 160's. My opinion here,is nothing new and this debate has been hashed numerous times,with numerous Posters.
The 7mmRemmag with 120's,is a Sinister Beast and excells in many avenues,especially considering distances mentioned within this particular Thread. Couple a 120V-Max for play,with the 120XBT for keeps and you'll breath new life into the Magnificent 7....................
