How do you guys like them at 7mm Mauser/ 7mm-08 velocities?
 
Haven't used the Noslers. I have a load developed using 120 gr Barnes ttsx that is incredibly accurate and has worked fantastic on deer with the 7mm-08.
 
They work awesome! They seem to be a bit tougher than the 140's. I've used them with complete success on whitetails for over 20 years in a couple of Model Sevens in 7mm-08. Very accurate and hold together well. I've only ever recovered one. That was a head on shot to the brisket that I found back by the ham under the skin.
 
Yeah, I should have elaborated more.

Daughter shooting the 120gr NBT for deer and is going to be her elk rifle if she ever gets drawn.

For deer, range is usually under 100 yards where I hunt with her.
7X57 Mauser with a load of RL17.
We tend for broadside shots.
Bullet goes in about 3" then pretty good expansion. Bullet holds together well. Never recovered one. Always an exit wound.
Haven't had a deer go more than 20 yards.
