Thanks jhalcott! I was curious if some "older/thinner jackets" had "slipped through" . Since seeing some pics of sectioned 120's and 140's(BT) , I was very surprised that the 120's do look MUCH heavier in the jackets!(on the newer ones that is) :grin:
My wife's Encore 7mm-08 loves them 120's...
This may(or may not help), since a bullet has to be a certain diameter(caliber), the only way to make it weigh more(of the same material) is to make it longer, thus longer=heavier. I hope that makes sense!
Was this recently(the 120's "blew up"? Reason I ask is the heavier jackets are a fairly recent addition to them. I'm sure Nosler could say just when, but I don't think you'll see that problem with the newer ones IMHO.
It is my understanding they did indeed "beef up" the 120 BT so it would handle the "rams" better. In fact, I hear from those who've sectioned them, they are quite a bit "tougher"(thicker jacket) than the 140's! FWIW
Based on that, I would think they should do more than "just fine" on deer...
