Prior to this season, in the process of determining if I could come up with a better bullet and load combo than I had been using in my Savage 10-ML, I bought a pack of 50 cal. , 250 gr., Spitfire T-EZ's ... for no other reason than to try them out. Of all the bullets, bullet weights, bullet designs and load combinations that I have ever tried, the 250 gr. T-EZ combined with the Savage recommended Accurate powder load punched paper the best. Groups at 100 yards were essentially a clover-leaf. I shot a 5 shot group that essentially cut a 2" diameter hole in the paper. Punching paper in small groups does not necessary equal killing game quickly. However in my case this bullet has done a super job so far. I have taken 4 deer wth it. Four shots. Four deer. Three doe and a nice , 190# 8 pt. Shots were from about 50 yards to a ranged 140 yards. Full pass through in all cases with a good blood trail. I stocked up on enough to last me a good while.
