builder459, you mentioned:

My shots run between 15 yards and 75 yards, with 40 yards being typical. It is the Barnes 290 T-EZ. Are you recommending more powder to get expansion?

Sorry for the confusion lol. 15-75 yds the .290 bullet isn't even necessary. just got the .250 TEZ. the .290 gr TEZ usually likes between 100-110 gr bh209 or 777 to work really well as far as accuracy is concerned. i am a huge fan of Barnes TEZ and Expander line of bullets.. but if my average shots where i live were less than 100 yds, i would be shooting the .250 Deep curl bullet.

No problem, just wanted to make sure I had something that would expand, given the close range hunting I do. The 90 grain load was the starting load in the sheet that came in the Barnes T-EZ package. It was certainly accurate enough, so I stopped there.

I will pick up some Expander MZ 250 grain to try next.

Bingo! We have a winner. I totally agree.
