If you are using a bolt rifle you will experience hard bolt lift and primer failure before you blow up a rifle no matter the caliber if you are using powders suitable for it. Depending on the bolt rifle it may never blow up but you may weld the action shut from flowing brass. Test have done this with the old Japanese WWII rifles which are some of the most robust of actions ever built. As has been said the AR is not meant to handle anywhere close to that pressure.
If you can't get the 120 BT to expand like you want change bullets. If you want to run a 120 gr get some Speer Gold Dots or Sierra Pro Hunters. They will expand at lower velocities. I love the 120 Gold Dot, cheap, accurate and DEADLY.
