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!

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...
