RE: 125 g Nosler Ballistic Tip tough enough?
That bullet explodes like a bomb at 3550, so I can only imagine it will get worse at 3900. Great "terminate with extreme prejudice" varmint load - but not good for deer. I'm not sure I would want to use any of the ballistic tip bullets for a .30 caliber this fast. Go for a Barnes TSX, Partition, or one of the bonded bullets.
