RE: bullet tumble
Not suprised at your results Fred. When I shot the Barnes MZ expanders out of my black diamond XR I was pushing them to the max. The accuracy was amazing, and there is nothing that wants to be hit by that train... Lots of powder, penetration and perfect expansion.
I tested the barnes in wet paper once.. It blew through more wet paper then I ever dreamed possible. Took a long time to clean up the mess and never did find the bullet, but the expansion in that wet media was most impressive.
