The Nolser 120BT is a weird projectile. They use the same jacket as the 140 BT, but becuase the 120 bt is shorter the jacket is thicker at the tip. 140BT on left 120BT on right 34960 120...

It is probably more to do with variations in the projectile shape. The length of the case won't make a difference.

If you are going to use the cosine method, it is more accurate to multiply the drop of the straight line distance by the cosine. Shawn Carlock has written a good article on this. The most accurate is...

The target you showed at the top will be fine, assuming the marks on it are 1 inch marks. You could also some 0.5 inch marks as well. 10MOA each way will be enough.

Cactus equipment make really rugged stuff, but look for secondhand as the new ones are around $600.

The bush is pretty thick and shitty, most of the best hunting is further back 2-3 hours. Mt Richardson is also worth a look. Flick me a PM for my phone number and I can give you some other info.
