I Got My New Barnes Bullets Today. They came in two days from MidwayUSA regular ground UPS, that is quick. I ordered two packs of bullets, the 50 cal Barnes Expander Spit-Fire T-EZ and the 50 calBarnes Expander MZ. I will be patterning them in a T/C Triumph and my NEF Sidekick. The T/C Triumph will shoot them first asI am waiting on a new style breech plug for the NEF Side Kick.I will post pictures of the groups as I get them, should have something to post sometimethis weekend.

I love it when the brown truck shows up.
Let me know how you like the sidekick,one of my buddies was looking into getting one

Barnes are great bullets. Expensive, but great bullets. I shoot them in my Knight rifles.

Knight has some good deals on their website for Barnes bullets right now. Look under Online Exclusive. I just ordered a bunch.

The brown truck stopped here today also bor with 500 sabots in it new crush rib sabots in 50/40.
I manage the grain fruits and vegtable portion of our fair here so it will be about a week and a half before I get much time to shoot, if I get lucky I might get an hour monday, really would like to see what they do . Lee

Try some Blackhorn 209 in your Triumph, Lee has good experience with it at 110g I believe. I shot some 300g Barnes MZ with BHin my Omega and got abouta 1" group at 100 yards.

Good luck with the Expamder MZ's. I use those for hunting. They shoot great out of both my CVA Wolf and Knight KRB. Although I switched out the sabots for Crushed Rib sabots.

Saxman, tell your buddy to get the T/C Triumph, you can get them new for $350 in Blue these days. The Sidekick was a gift from my Dad, it shoots good but it has limitations on what you can do with it, due to the plastic primer holders. I am working on getting a custom breech plug to hold the 209 primers right now.

The T/C triumph is actually my girls gun, lknhuntress. It was getting late last night but she managed to get one shot off from 65 Yards with a 50 cal. Barnes T-EZ bullet. She smacked the bullseye, I was watching along with two of her two cousins, they were quite impressed. She asked if we wanted to try a shot and we all said "No Thanks" we could only look bad compared to her shot. It was pretty funny, thankfully it was getting dark. Take a look.

We should be getting out to try and see how they group today.

I see a lot of people referring to the crushed rib sabot, what is the benefit of it and where can I get them?
