anybody tried this bullet in the 284 Win.I know it was originally designed for the 7-30 Waters and was wondering about the velocity increase and it's use on deer

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?

Hot Core
No particular reason,just making an inquiry for a friend.Myself ,I prefer the the 120 NBT.Damn good bullet.Thanx.

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.
