I am loading my 280Rem to just over 3000 fps MV. I have only recovered one bullet on the far side of a buck and it weighed 95 gr. My ex wife was shooting the same bullet out of her 7mm08 with similar results. The wound channels are very wide, causing lots of trauma in their passage.
When I first hand loaded the 120gr. 7mm bullets, I was told that the Bal. Tip Noslers were not "hard" enough to get penetration. I have not found this to be true and in fact the bullet is the best quick killer that I have used and I have been taking deer since the 1950s with everything from 243Win. up to 45-70.
