Your comment about stubby got me thinking, so just ran upstairs to compare 139 BT Hornadys & 120 NBT. Mine are visually about the same length.

I may try to stick a 120 NBT into a mule deer and/or whitetail in addition to coyote this year. Will let you know how that goes.

In fact in order to complete further testing, I may just hunt all year with a 7-08. I sure like shooting the round a lot, but for some reason have in years past have most often grabbed something else when chasing game...
