Wonderful! That opens up the whole world of pointed bullets. I think you'll be delighted with the 120 Ballistic Tip for 90% of your hunting needs for deer and such. You can use a cheaper 120 softpoint for practice, a 110 hollowpoint for varmints, and a 139/140 for black bear.

But the cartridge was designed around 120-gr bullets, so that's where it will perform best. I still have some 139s and 140s left from when I wrote that article, but a whole bunch of 120s have gone down that tube in the meantime. I load 'em just as described above: 120 SPs for daily use and 120 Ballistic Tips for big game.
