I finally found my perfect combination. Here it is Triple 7 209 primers, 100 grains of pyrodex pellets, 195 grain barnes expander, Winchester x-150 .45 Cal. topped with a bushnell 1.74-4. This load shoots >3/4" all 5 shots inside the 1" dot at 100 yards. This bullet is also awesome on game.
Sorry bout the giant pictures.

Barnes are indeed excellent bullets and it sounds like you have your rifle 'dial-ed" in with an excellent load. Great. How long did it take to you get to that load? That bullet? What was your "progression"? Are you using the sabot supplied with the expander? I wish the Barnes TMZ shot well in my gun but they do not.Best wishes on the hunt.
