    How do the 120BT perform at longer range? 400? 500?

    Excellent. I shot a red hind at 412 yards and it nearly chopped her head off. They probably perform better once they have lost a bit of velocity.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I just bough a box of the 150's, only because they were $10 cheaper than the 125's, looking forward to trialling them

    Shot a couple of goats on sat with 120 NBT''s from my stumpy 15" 708 mod 7.

    Performed very well indeed. About 40 yds, shot a young nanny which did some damage to her including a big chunk of lung coming out the exit, then the bullet passed thru two smaller goats.
