Yea. Looks familiar. Not sure what the fascination is with 120's. 140 Sierras maybe blow a bit smaller hole in a deer on average.. but still similar.



No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

For me, the 120 grain NBT shoots a little flatter, and makes smaller groups than the 140 grain bullets. Kills them quick, so that's what I shoot.

I hunt with the load that offers best accuracy in a good bullet, regardless of the rifle.

My favorite caliber, Easy to shoot and deadly on whitetail and hogs!

Federal Fusions have performed outstanding and as expected with pass through every time !

The Hornady American Whitetail shot tighter groups .50” but I had 2-3 misfires out of my Savage LWH. Called Hornady and they tried to claim that the firing pin wasn’t striking the primer hard enough!

Fusions do that in nearly all calibers. Love that load.

I shot fusions in a 25-06 for a short time before I got my dies in. They were just plain nasty on deer and hogs.
