I saw these advertised on www.cheaperthandirt.com and was wondering if (a) Nosler has just made a fresh run of the "long awaited for 120BT" or (b) these are 'seconds" ( why the tip change in color I wonder if they are NOT seconds?) Anyone have a clue?
New 6.5 120 "Brown Tip" Ballistic Tip?

The .264 6.5mm has always been brown.

Thanks guys...admittedly I am "a little bit" color blind on some shades, absolutely cannot tell the diff between black and navy blue! ha I really liked the 120BT in that 6.5/284, it was exceptional. I may skip the 100's and start out with the 120's in the coming 8" twist barrel. What do you fast twist 6.5 users think?

I made the decision...I'll come back tot he 100s when/if I want to try them later. For now, I went ahead and ordered some to start out with. I pushed them right at 3200 in that 6.5/284 in strong, necked down .284 Winchester cases. I kept it sighted just +1 inch high @100 and just held spot on at everything out to 300 yds! Sure, it was a bit low there but the antelope couldn't tell it! ha It also worked swell on a 40yd coyote w/o tearing up the hide a lot, though I don't skin those filthy things. I just take a picture and sling it over into the sage! Out here, the fleas can carry plague...and Preachers should avoid the plague "like the Plague" ( get it?) ha Happy Easter!

I'm getting 2900 out of my 6.5x55 with the 140gr BT's. One of the most accurate bullets out of this gun.
