why yes we did just this past weekend
#1 was barnes 300gr mz/120gr blkhrn 209/win209 primers=1"@100/2"@180yrds
#2was barnes 290tmz/120gr blkhrn209/win209primrs =1"@100only 1"higher@100/3"@180 but 2"higherbut i must admit by this time i was getting tired and mayhave flinched by then
allin all they both shot well and wouldnt hesitate on either of them
will shoot again then decide which load ill use for elk huntn this year-so far i think the 300 is in the lead.
i like the way those mz's perform but the trajectory of the gaping hollow point scares me. from what i have read, barnes bullets are hard to get to shoot good. i guess it's because they're copper and don't swell in the barrel on firing and catch the rifling. i needs to be a perfect fit.
why? theyre so fricking tight to jam down the barrel
they dont need to swell if you want swell shoot a conical or round ball
you wanted loads not bullet design-thats how they performed
in my gun at that time
I don't shoot them in a Triumph but I shoot them out of my Knight KRB and CVA Wolf. I know other guys like other bullets but I'll spend the extra buck or two in the deer stand for a bullet I have 100% confidence in. I shoot the Barnes Expander MZ in both 250 and 300gr.

The Barnes are excellent bullets in any gun, not justTriumph. I have shot the 300g MZ in my OMega with 100g of Blackhorn 209 and got 1" at 100. Will try 150 yards soon. I shoot 300g Barnes Origonals in my Savage smokless and get 1.5" groups at 100 and 3" groups at 200, 3" drop. The BC of the Barnes Origonal is .291.
