Which is tougher? Looking to purchase a bunch. The Sierras come out of a 6" barrel at nearly 1900 fps with 800x. I am sure both will blow apart at that speed when they hit something, but I'd like to know which you all think hold together best. Thanks for any input.

That's smokin' bro. TS2.gif TS2.gif
I have pushed them to 1750 fps in my G20/6' barrel with a max load of Power pistol.
Maybe I need to try 800X with them. cb.gif BC.gif 1900 fps is 1080 ft/# of ME. Clearly in 41 mag territory as far as energy is concerned.
I used the Sierra's. Don't know which is tougher.
The 135's are meant for close in encounters in crowed shopping mall situations, for apartment dwellers with thin walls, etc.
They basically turn into a "Glaser" type fragmenting projectile at speeds over 1600 fps.

LOL yes 800x rocks. I have witnessed what the Sierra's do to all sorts of objects. Milk jugs are impressive and the bullet definitely blows itself to pieces! I'd even say a bit too much which is why I ask. I notice the Nosler is $10 a box more.
