The 130 grain Ballistic Tip is from the older stock, not sure how the jacket is on the newer models.
FWIW, Nosler says the jacket and core of the BT are the same as the Accubond, just not bonded. Changes to the BT jacket over the years can confuse the comparison though.
I dabbled a little with the 6.8, and still have a couple AR barrels & bolt. If someone wants them shoot me a PM, they will be reasonable. Think I'll probably work with a Grendel next.
PM sent
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
How about any other big game bullets in the 6.8? Haven't heard good things about SSTs....in anything
TTSX.......done.

You need a sample to try? I'll send some your way.

Once again,go to 68forums. There is a huge database of bullet test in various test media including deer and hogs.btw the hornady 120 sstt is highly regarded as a deer and hog bullet. Or just continue to guess !!
Most of the shots made in this video were the same guy. He is a hog eradicator and uses the 120sst mainly...for good reason. They dump nearly all of their energy into the hog. It's best not to shoot a deer using the 120sst near any meat you want to keep. Any of the Barnes bullet retain their weight and pass through, even length ways. Hornady GMX does the same.

I took your advice and looked at the 6.8 forum...it was a LOT of help developing a load and determining the right seating depth..I got instantly better results at the range...
