I need to try the 140 NBTs. I'm down to my last 100 or so 120 NBTs and they seem to be unobtainable.
Over Varget?
I load 140 B.T.s over 45.0 gr H-414. Work well and accurate in my guns.

Dad and daughter both use 140 gr NBT in their 7-08's loaded over IMR 4350. Daughter is mad because she likes to track and her last 5 all fell in their tracks. Dad's usually drop right away too, but his from two days ago ran maybe 40 yards.

I shoot this combo but over 47gr of H4350. My Tikka loves it and deer hate it.
Mine is also a Tikka.

My daughter shoots factory 150g Norma whitetail in hers. Every deer she's shot with it didn't live long enough to complain.

Here ya go Mr. B, a pic that not many have ever been able to take.
They seem to fly extremely well with max loads of RL15. OK mebbe a little over max.
I think DA may have a few left.
Ignore the 223's being loaded. I came upon a box of crimped primer ones and spent a few recent nights un-crimping them. Can't let stuff sit around idle.

What is significant about the blue tips?
Nosler color codes the tips. 7mm should be red, but those are blue. My WAG is that is why they are marked factory seconds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I could be wrong but i believe the 7mm 120's have always been blue?

Welllll, blue tips, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Only sold at SPS on one occasion a few years back.
I think it was a fun dig at some other projectile company......mebbe Barnes?
Mine came packaged up in square generic cardboard boxes with that very Special Nosler label.
Nosler's code for the .284 family of ballistic tips is RED
Still think the Nosler guys were having some fun or maybe breaking in a new/repaired/upgraded machine. The Blue Tips or the Red Tips in 120 kill great and fly true.
