    I've just started using the 140gr Nosler B Tips at about 2750 fps but I'm not yet fully convinced. I was expecting them to mushroom but they seem to shatter. I need to do a bit more hunting with them yet but they're certainly accurate enough.
    They are excellent. The 120 grn has a heavier jacket for weight than the 140 NBT does. For the sake of boredom killing, here's a pic of a stag I shot using them at 420 yards. One shot into the shoulder and it was all over. The knife is stuck into the entry hole in his ribs after it had gone through the shoulder (a bit gory but Im a bit over the facebook sort of pc).
