It might or might not do OK at a higher Velocity. Since it was "Designed" to work at 7-30Waters velocities, it seems that would be the proper Velocities to load for. The 120gr Speer Hot-Cor and 120gr Nosler B-Tips work fine at SAFE MAX 7mm-08 load levels as long as you are not shooting through a row or two of beans. Is there a particular reason you want to use the 120gr Nosler FP? | |||

Hey 284LUVR, I agree about the 0.284" 120gr Nosler B-Tip being a fine bullet. I've killed a bunch of Deer with it at 7mm-08 velocities and have always gotten Exits. I wanted to try them shoulder-to-shoulder, but I don't believe that shot ever presented itself. I did find a lot of Bloodshot meat using them though, so I really prefer a slightly heavier bullet. Best of luck to your friend and you this Season. | |||
