I've found the 140gr BT to be a good one when velocities are reasonably low. I run them at 2,000-2,100fps in a 7mm-08 youth load and they penetrate pretty well while inflicting good damage. A buddy has used the Federal factory BT loading for years in his 18.5" M7 7mm-08 and they have been outstanding. His MV is likely somewhere around 2,600-2,650fps. I doubt I'd like them as much at 3,000fps+ on close range, tough-angle shots.
Now with even more aplomb

Culling does on a good ranch is almost as much fun as culling axis deer with a spot light. When are we going EddyBo?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

I drive them hard. Thus the explosive nature. The 120 otoh opens faster than the 140NAB(my take on meat damage at impact site) but doesnt explode and destroy the whole front end like the 140NBT

Hey Trav, I'm a helluva shot......no shoulders. Actually with dead rests like I had it was so easy JeffO could have done it. I should have, just to see what gives I guess but I wasn't smart enough to think about that at the time......I was going apesschittt at all the targets available so my mind was preoccupied! Seriously, mostly broadside, a few quartering to or away so a shoulder or two got whacked on the way out, not going in. I an so challenging you to some shootin' for that. Awesome truckload of deer!
The CENTER will hold.
Reality, Patriotism,Trump: you can only pick two
FÜCK PUTIN!

I was just jokin' a little. It took you several days to find it though, didn't it?
