Those two bullets driven at 30-06/308 velocities work great. Hold together, get wider, and kill quicker in comparison to their 130 TTSX.

I figured with the popularity of the Grendel that we'd at least see one in 6.5mm...but no such luck. A 7mm 120 would be sweet as well. I've put the .308/120 Blackout bullet into medium at a shade over 2800 fps (impact speed). The petals looked thinned/stressed but still held together. The expanded diameter at the widest point was eye-popping at just over 0.9". I'll see if I can locate that photo later.

EDITED to add photos:
