RW promoted this bullet for use in the Savage but after this pic he took, I cant agree.


One of the guys on Dougs did a test at various speeds until they failed to open at all. Im trying to find the pics now.
I'm pretty sure he promoted that bullet in the beginning. He then started promoting the 300grn Barnes Original. What you'll find if you shoot enough game with them and do testing they are very inconsistent bullets in a ML. If you gotta shoot Barnes just shoot the MZ Expanders and you will be a lot happier.

Did Ron test any MZ Expanders?? I bet they wont fail the test
