If you get the Barnes TMZs to shoot you will have probably the best bullet out there (expensive though). I never could get them to do well in my Mustang and my brother-in-law couldn't get them to shoot well in his Knight.
+1. I tried them in my Savage, and they were not grouping well. Many say that the boat tail design doesn't work well in MLer because of the sabot. The fact that Barnes just came out with the flat based TMZ called the T-EZ says their is some truth to that. I would shoot the T-EZ in a MLer. I noticed just a few minutes ago that Mid South had them in their ML bullets with sabots section on their web site. For long range shooting the TMZ is the best, the Barnes Origonal, the Parker Ballistic Extreme, SW 300g, Harvester PT Gold should also be consider if your looking for long range bullets. I tried them all in my Savage. I shot PBE last year, good accurate bullet, fraged a bit on frontal shots.
I shot the Barnes Origonal 300g this year, very tough bullet, maybe too tough on Whitetails. No problem on bone hits, frontal shots, etc. Large following of Barnes Origonals in the Savage Forum.
A lot of folks shoot PBE, in 45cal sabotless, the PBE is .4505 in diameter, which is "just right for 45 cal barrels. Chap
