LRRPF52 Wrote:120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip is a pretty soft bullet with rapid expansion, which opens down to 1800fps.
Even assuming 2300fps mv with reduced BC of .425 at sea level in 59 degree weather, it will expand out to 275yds.
You can work up to 2350fps with 28.8gr of TAC from a 12.5 barrel.
You should have anywhere from 23"-26 of penetration at the minimum impact velocity with maybe ~70% weight retention.
For your actual ranges within 150yds, impact velocity will be over 2000fps with around 1100ft-lbs or better.
Its a killer combination with expansion around .430 or better within 150yds.
Greatly appreciate the info. That is more than enough to take down anything I will be shooting at as long as I do my part. Will post some results when I can get some time at the range. Hoping the new barrel is amazing as every one claims. I heard nothing but good things about lilja. Thanks again
