I finally got out and tried the 290gr Barnes TEZ bullets out today. They load pretty easy but not as easy as the Hornady FPB or the TC superglide's do. So I started out with 100grs of blackhorn and shot a 3 shot group. It wasn't what I was hopeing for so I shot another 3 shot group of 110grs of powder,still not what I was wanting,I tried 120grs,and shot 2 shots and they both hit about 6inches from each other and I knew that was not good,so I didn't attempt a 3rd shot.
So I lowered it down to 90grs of powder and got a pretty decent 3 shot group,its not as tight as the 250gr TC super Glide sabots shoot but its not too bad. What do you guys think about the 90gr group? Is it good enough for hunting? Or would you try and see what it does with 80grs of powder?
The Super glides with 100grs of blackhorn @ 100yds disregard the shots off target
90grs of blackhorn with the TEZ 290gr barnes the 3 shots in the red box
100grs of blackhorn with the TEZ 290gr barnes
110grs of blackhorn with the TEZ 290gr barnes 1 shot was off target to the right
