Barnes TEZ Bullet leaves awesome blood trail (Updated With Pictures)
Well, my lady shot a deer with her TriumphML using the new Barnes TEZ bullet. The load was 100 grains 777 pellets, harvester crushed rib black sabot, 50 cal, 250 grain Barnes TEZ bullet. The deer was 20 yards away when she shot and it looked like someone poured the blood trail out of a jug the whole way. I did not recover the bullet as it was a pass thru but the enrty and exit wounds were good size with lots of blood. It was dark by the time I got to her to trail the deer through the thickest stuff on the farm, so it was nice having a good trail to follow. It was shot in the liver and went about 80 yards before it ran out of blood.I will take some pictures today and post them later. It looks like the bullet expanded and shredded everything in its path.
Last year I shot a buck at close range through the lungswith a powerbelt and I had pencil size entry and exit wounds and no blood for the first 50 yards. That is scary when you have no idea where the deer ran because of all the smoke created during the shot.These Barnes bullets are a great improvement and should help anyone recover a deer.
Below is the entry hole.

Congratulations to your lady.. those Barnes are a good bullet without argument. Anyone that shoots them always brags of how they hit, expand and just make a nasty wound. I've seen deer take a liver hit and go a lot further then 80 yards, so she did well with making the wound channel she did. A little more forward and she'd of probably planted the thing right there.. Again, congratulations.

Congrats to your better half. Thats the kind of entrance and exit holes that allows you to be a little off on your accuracy and still recover what you shot.
