Agree with BG powder. Pharmseller got me started and he’s been proven right.

I have not shot anything in my 7-08 other than TSX 140's for almost 20 years. I plan to try the Nosler 120 BT this coming year after loading some in the wife's 7x57 with outstanding results on WT's.

I like the 120 NBT for deer and hogs.
Slightly more accurate in my 7-08 700 with Hart barrel and also a good WT killer is the 140 gr. Sierra HPBT
DF The 140 Sierra, being more expansive than the 120 NBT, would for my bullet selection process, be more suitable for chest shooting soft skin critters like our Louisiana WT’s. The 120 NBT, IME, would be my choice for a wider range of applications. Bench accuracy shouldn’t be a major consideration choosing a good hunting bullet, considering the Sierra edged the Nosler by just fractions of an inch. I like’em both. DF

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

DF Hafta try those Sierras someday.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
