7-08 120 vs 140 nosler bt

[3006Sprng]

For all you 7mm08/nosler reloaders, what’s the better performing bullet?

The 120 or 140?

Thanks.

In the BT, 120's.

I’ve used the 140 for a number of years, accurate and easy to shoot. Effective on deer, coyotes and antelope, I’ve never tried it on anything larger. I use the 140 for practice, just banging steel kind of thing. I load close to the lands and find it doesn’t care too much which powder I use.

Depends on game and distance for me. With the 120gr out of my rifle combo I am seeing close to 3,100 fps with excellent performance on deer and down sized game. For Elk, I have found the 140 gr class bullet to be a good performer with velocities in the 2,800-2,900 fps range.

This would be with the 120gr ballistic tip hunting and the 140gr Accubond. My default powder has been Varget due to the consistent nature over a wide temperature range, CCI large rifle primers all loaded around a COAL of about 2.8"

White tail, black bears, moose. I have the BT 140’s. Going to work up a load, 22” barrel so velocity should be reasonable. Everyone seems to talk up the 120’s.

The 120 grain NBT is a tougher bullet than the 140 grain NBT. I have used and recommend the 120 NBT. I use and recommend the 140 grain Accubond and Partion, if you want to go heavier.
