Latest version of my '06 77 MkII. I did some scope swapping and the 2.5-8 x 32 Conquest seemed to fit this gun DF ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/PSEpDrM.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/1tBKrhm.jpg)

My Ruger 77 Mk II '06 really likes the 125 NAB over 59 gr. BG.
It runs nearly 3,200 fps.
My question, how expansive/destructive is the 125 NAB at that speed on WT's and such?
DF
About tied with the .277 130gr NBT at the same velocity for the closest you can get to a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range....

Yep
Could slightly beat .270 velocity, but not BC.
Pretty bright for 40 watts.
I have a .270, but it still in the closet.
Ha!

I shot hogs in Texas one year with 125 NBTs. They worked well but I was shooting them at only 2250 MV from a 16" 300 BO AR. We recovered one from behind the offside shoulder of a 225 pound pig. It was mushroomed up perfectly and look like it retaimed most of its weight.
I can't help you at the higher speeds but know that they'll still work out there a ways at slower speeds. I took some 125 NAB loads too just in case we had problems with the NBTs but we never got around to using an accusing on pigs. They both have thick copper bases and thick jackets down low so I wouldn't be afraid to use them at your speeds.
