You can run the 125 NBT and 125 NAB as well as the 130 Hornady SP (not the varmint version) at full throttle with great results. And even at 3,100 fps, they don't kick like heavier bullets. Even the 130 Hornady will blow thru a WT chest with good exit, lots of internal damage and usually DRT.
If a 125/130 will exit a WT, you may not need heavier bullets on that class of game. And the extra speed helps.
IMO.

I've never shot a critter with it, but that stubby little 130gr Hornady has proven VERY accurate in a few .308's and the one 300 win mag I shot it in!
I've been very impressed with it in the '06, on WT's, hogs and coyotes. LOTS of one shot DRT's.. Bullets do a lot of damage, hold together and usually exit. About perfect performance at reasonable ranges where we hunt. And, they're not expensive. Never tried one in the .300 WM.
59 gr. BG in the '06 with mag primers is a great load.
