I will say that I'm a fan of Barnes bullets. I have and will in the future still shoot them. I have killed a number of deer with the TMZ as well as the Knight Red Hot bullet which is the same bullet. I have had great results and not so great results with this bullet. I have shot some medium size whitetails in the 170 lb range and the bullet did not exit and had no blood trail and did not make a good hole going in at about 50-75 yard range. I will say that I have shot some 200 lb deer and the bullet blew through with great internal ballistics. But overall, the bullet is a good bullet. As some of you know, I went on a hog hunt with the Lehigh 275 grainers and I'm not sure I will leave these bullets. They out performed my greatest expectation from 45 to 160 yards on small to very large hogs. I was not a fan of the big hollow points at all until I went to Texas to try them. Just seeing the devastation they did and the way they opened up sold me on them. I will continue shooting them and cannot wait to see what they will do on a deer at 200+ yards because I have confidence in them.
