Bullets are an enigma to themselves. I have seen different people get completely different results from the same bullet. I really do not believe there is a bad bullet, just bad situations. I like to shoot the bullet that is the most accurate in the rifle I am shooting at the time. I get a feeling of confidence with an accurate firearm.

I have a Knight LRH. The Barnes TMZ is very accurate in this rifle. Three deer fell to this rifle this year. 2 died in their tracks. One was a shoulder shot, and one was a behind the shoulder shot. The third deer ran a full 60 yards. There was zero blood trail, and zero hair at the spot where the deer was shot. the shot was a perfect in the crease, behind the shoulder shot. All three shots were pass through's. Two shots were at 50 yards, one shot was at 125 yards(shoulder shot).

With these results how would you rate the Barne's Bullet??? Tough question??? Ya, I know it is a tough question??? If I did not have extreme confidence in the shot I would have thought I missed the deer, but at the end of her 60 yard run she piled up(out of sight). If you looked for fur or blood you could have believed it was a complete miss. But with my confidence in my firearm, I knew the deer was down.

I guess what I am saying is shoot what gives you the most confidence, and EXPECT varying results. Tom.
