Coca_Colaguy23,
The MZ Expander is a great bullet, expands a low speed and pushes all the way thru. Holds together with no fragmentation and great expansion, since the hollow point is so huge. Petals are also sharp, so they are the perfect ML bullet if they shoot well in your rifle. They don't shoot well in every rifle. I could not get them shooting well in my Savage, but they have a cousin the Barnes TSX FlatNose 45/70 bullet that shoots will in a MLer with a Crushed Rib sabot, the Barnes Part number is 45843. They have the huge hollow point of the MZ, but they are .458 instead of .452, the extra .006 really fits tight in my Savage, and shoots very accuratly. An extra bunus, they appear to be about $8 cheaper than the MZs, the .458 diameter bullets work very well in1:28 twist barrels. So consider those also in your new M700. Nosler Partitions or Barnes MZ,TMZ, whatever are strong great bullets, worth the price for hunting. Best Wishes are youget started in this very fun sport.
