Probably because the cheap 120NBT they have always offered is as tough as either of those offerings would be at half the price...
I don't know. It would be hard for me to believe that the NBT would be as tough as a Partition/Accubond in the same weight. A 120 grain Partition/Accubond in a 7-08 would be awesome on whitetails. Heck, I might it load it in my 7 SAUM. Lol

Well then I suggest you actually try them. I've yet to keep one inside a bunch of muleys, flagtails, antelope, black bears and two cow elk when flung from a 26" 7RM @ 3500fps

FYI they were redesigned my Nosler after silhouette shooters complained of their original softness...they ain't your normal ballistic tip and that's not a "guess"

My experience is one quartering away shot on a cow elk exited.
I would love to try 120 grain Partitions or Accubonds, if they made them.
I am interested in trying the 120 grain NBT, though.

There's nothing the 140 can't do that the something in 120 will do, might be a hair flatter showing for awhile but that would be overcome by the 140 quickly...I 'be shot a railroad car full of deer with 140 partition out of a 7 mm mag at 3100 fps, none ever survived to take a couple of steps if that...best hunting bullet ever made !

Here is JBM. I "sighted" them in so the bullet never went above 3". I sighted the 120 in for 290 yards and the 140 in at 260 yards. I don't have a 7 Mag, but if I did I would go with the 120.

Yup, I'd be one of em
Nosler said that a 120 grain Partition would be tougher than a 120 grain BT, which should be no shocker to anyone. They also recommended keeping the 120 grain BT under 3000 fps and only recommended behind the shoulder shots.
I guess I'll stick with my 160 grain Accubonds/Partitions. Heck, they only cost $19.

Musta been a new tech, last bear I killed with the 7 was shot at roughly 8yds through both shoulders. It acts a little tougher than most Accubonds I've seen used on game. I'm about 50/50 in keeping NABs in game...usually 180/30cal and 140/284cal. Not trying to discount NPTs or NABs, just saying the is bonded bullet performance at cup n core price
