Model70,
Thanks for posting. Your results don't surprise me at all, in fact, I would have bet on that outcome. Your study is also corroborated by the study done at Cedar Knoll Hunt club in SC where they found that premium bullets in thin skinned whitetails caused deer to run a good bit further than standard cup and core bullets.
I am using the 130 Nosler AB in my .264 for a compromise between ultimate penetration and tissue destruction - so far so good and runners have not gone very far and have left an adequate blood trail. If I didn't already have the 130s I'd probably just shoot the 120 ballistic tips.
