If you are not big on distance, drop your powder charge to
90-100grs, that will push a 250-300gr bullet plenty flat to about 125 yards...

I'd go with either the 250 or 300 MZ, whichever shoots best in your rifle...They have the largest hollow point so they should open up the best...

I used to shoot the 300gr Barnes MZ and it does great, full penetration and good exit wounds...I only went to the 250 ShackWaves because when I hunt over bean fields the shots can run a little longer...If I knew all my shots were going to be within 125 yards, I'd go back to the Barnes MZ...

btw...I'd prefer the 250 Barnes, but my Knight didn't...
