I loaded up some 120g NBT for the kids to use. 2600 fps. According to the ballistic charts it drops below good expansion velocity just past 200 yards. My son killed a doe last year at 200 yards and it went down so fast I missed seeing it fall, but did see its legs sticking toward the sky. The exit hole was the size of a nickel so there was some expansion, but maybe not a lot. My daughter has killed 2 at from 100-150 yards and seemed there was more expansion and damage done. So with my load it is a 200 yard round to get expansion.
The nice thing about it is its light recoil and excellent accuracy in the Howa Mini action we use.
