Someone was asking about the 120 Sierra game king.
I used them years ago with good luck and had a 100 left so am using them again.
They are a damned good bullet.
Last night. 324 yards. Bang flop. No excessive meat damage.
Here’s the exit.

I use the 140 game king in the 7mm08 a lot for pest control and it’s very reliable on reds of all sizes, the 140 nbt is my choice for the 400-600yrds shots
You have my last box of 120g nbt Tahr :)
I’m saving the 120 noslerBT for when the antlers are back on. They are particularly violent killers.
Yes they are, also quite a stout bullet too. I shot a goat i picked out of a mob, the goat i shot fell over plus two more behind it. Quite close range too.Quote:

Pest control with a 7/08. What you shooting? Stihl chainsaws.Quote:

Nice, good to see you using different calibers to , I have my favourite but it's good to take something different out from time to time.
I am using the 120 nbt for my son who is 8, nice light bullet in the 7-08 for him. Very accurate too.
His last animal a couple of weeks ago

I just got a couple of boxes of 130gr to try as a medium lighter load. Hopefully they should work pretty well
130gr Speers? If so, I use to use them when I first started handloading, they shot super well and killed everything very quickly. I was only pushing them at 2800 fps.Quote:

Have started reloading and have ELD-X for .270 but Loaded some Gamekings for the .308 bushpigs which I have high hopes for.
Just need to get out of lockdown so I can get to the range to do the load development.
I have also run out of 120BTs but have some 130 Speer boat tails in the cupboard. I was using 45grn 2208 with the 120’s and also have some CFE223. Anybody got some loads with those powers for the 130’s??. 16in Kimber. Thanks
I'm thinking of trying 8208 as it's what I have but in theory should be suitable
Im using 2206. 3k from 18" barrel with 120 grn.
My load for the 130 Speer is 44.5grns 2206H.Quote:

realy rate the 7mm and 6.5 120gn range i honestly think they are some of the best sub 500y hunting bullets going
